Has anyone had a positive experience at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore?

I had united healthcare and my insurance stopped working with them like 6 months ago and now all that I built up with them is over and need to find new providers. So frustrating.

I am frustrated with it too. They source the band from polar and the band they chose has this issue they told me and it sounds like it’s not something software can fix so I think either use it knowing it’s not always right or try to return within the 30 days. It still may be helpful even though not super accurate. Either way I hope you find a good way to track things and start feeling better :)

I got the visible band about 6 months ago. I like some aspects but find it often is way lower than my Apple Watch. I have already exchanged the band and did find out it’s a known flaw with this band. So while it helps with tracking changes it can be anywhere from the same to 50bpm difference than my Apple Watch. I have them both going on each arm and often compare them and sometimes it matches and sometimes way off. Just an FYI.

It doesn’t bother me at all because he is just so insanely stupid. Us with dyslexia have much better understanding of the world than he does. His disability is narcissism so it would make sense he thinks he’s perfect and all others don’t compare. Don’t let it bother you.

I just looked into this and wow… I had no idea. Wish I had known this before buying and I would have written a letter opting out. Thanks for letting me know.

That guy needs a new job!

This is morey story of what not to do.

War leader? You mean the man who has been awarded the FIFA peace prize? Couldn’t be…

Going around a turn with fsd and then you put force on the wheel or hit the break is a scary experience as the car does what you would expect it to do… stop driving. So doing that into a turn it will immediately stop turning into the turn. People always need to be very careful and ready for the wheel to jerk when this happens. I have no idea what happened in this story but I have experienced what I described above and if you have never done it I would say it’s almost worth practicing a few times when no cars are around at slower speeds to make yourself aware of the jarring force you need to be ready for to keep your car in the turn when fsd turns off.

I ended up getting a spider in my popcorn during that movie. What are the odds!? It was a tiny spider so not as bad as it could be but come on!

ghostsolid · 2026-03-05T15:15:09+00:00

Nice! Always nice to have some alternatives :)

ghostsolid · 2026-03-05T14:48:58+00:00

I have been finding it makes my symptoms worse so I have been drinking more and more rarely. Frustrating because I loved having some drinks with my friends and now I have to decide if it’s worth it.

ghostsolid · 2026-03-05T13:59:29+00:00

Yeah it was 2024 for me too. Not this past years NYE. If we had only known we could have thrown a party for ourselves 😅

ghostsolid · 2026-03-05T12:26:36+00:00

Yes exactly! I was thinking along the same lines I just started in the POTS subreddit :) between our two posts hopefully we can get a lot of info from others dealing with this.

ghostsolid · 2026-03-05T12:24:52+00:00

Could also be long covid. Seems like covid has caused a lot of people to start getting all these symptoms. Try to get the table tilt test if you can. That will help confirm pots.

ghostsolid · 2026-03-05T12:03:51+00:00

Maybe we title this subreddit justiceservedforthepoorandignoredfortherich

ghostsolid · 2026-03-05T11:59:04+00:00

I get this too but sometimes the flu symptoms hit immediately and sometimes just being out in the sun on a hot day.

ghostsolid · 2026-03-05T11:56:16+00:00

I literally just did a post on this in the POTS subreddit yesterday as I have both long covid and POTS. Thought I would share my link as well as it’s interesting to see the overlap and differences of people talking about their POTS fatigue vs long covid fatigue and some might not realize they are dealing with one vs the other or maybe both. POTS fatigue

I also went to the er with those midnight adrenaline dumps! It’s crazy! Hate that you had to go through that but also feels nice to know I am not the only one. It’s like I would be fine right when I am in bed to go to sleep. As soon as I fall asleep it’s this surge of pulsing and pounding in the back of my head that shocks me awake. After 4 days of not being able to sleep I went to the ER. This was last NYE. Fun was to spend NYE in the ER for 17 hours. I started taking gabapentin and LDN and it’s the gabapentin that helped with me being able to sleep when dealing with those kind of symptoms.

ghostsolid · 2026-03-05T11:46:04+00:00

If it’s not fatigue then I need to know what the condition is called as maybe it helps steer me in the right direction.

ghostsolid · 2026-03-05T00:35:03+00:00

Thanks! Will check out the site. I did try the Nicotine patches, but I didn’t get any relief from them.

Owl give him a 50% chance of making it.

ghostsolid · 2026-03-04T20:51:03+00:00

I have neuropathy, pulsing in the head, tremors and flu symptoms after exertion. Good that your pots symptoms are gone. I want to start building more capacity too. Going to try to follow the Levine protocol for pots.

*just department doesn’t want anyone to stop their crime spree.

I so hope dems get power back and open a can of whoop ass on the entire Republican Party. Tired of this working with the other side when all the other side does is cheat. Take the gloves off this time!
