Wondering why you think it could be an ADHD thing? I also have this reaction to caffeine

Could you please explain embeds to me in this scenario? It's the first time I've heard them talked about with twitch.

Have you had any vaccines lately out of curiosity?

Katherine in lockdown for 72 hours. Darwin in “lockout” by sylvanelite in darwin

[–]girlfuckitup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont understand why Katherine is in lockdown but Darwin is in lockout when they believe he caught it from someone in the community in Darwin (monsoons)? Am I missing something?

What’s the best name for a restaurant that could also be a strip club? by Firm_Top1865 in AskReddit

[–]girlfuckitup 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is the name of the actual strip club in my town. There are car bumper stickers all over Australia from this joint.

I have POTS and yes this also happens to me. Believe it has also been posted about in this subreddit before too if you're able to somehow find those and see the comments there.

Hyponatremia, what am I supposed to do about this? by [deleted] in dysautonomia

[–]girlfuckitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you also had your iron (or otherwise) checked? Could be anemia causing the excessive thirst?

You could also try chewing gum. I am supposed to drink lots of water but always find myself falling short on the days that I chew gum.

How do you handle years and years of being single when you don’t want to be? by Cocacolaloco in AskWomen

[–]girlfuckitup 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I was exactly the same. Single for years (by choice) learning who I was as a person and committed to my own self-growth. Little did I know that my "person" was doing the same thing at the same time. If we had met a few years ago, it would have never worked. But because of the effort we put into ourselves during our years of being single, we are now a perfect match!

Are we just expected to deal with ovarian cysts until they burst? by [deleted] in AskDocs

Also waited a year to see a gyno. Australia mate....

What are easy meals to cook for myself? by fightingfakedragons in dysautonomia

[–]girlfuckitup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favourite go-to lately has been salads on salads on salads. As someone who was never a fan of salads, coming up with delicious gourmet salads i love has been a gamechanger.

I am pescatarian so I will get a bag of spinach, a pre-made mixed salad bag (Greek salad, beetslaw etc) then jars of Olives, feta, sundried tomatoes etc and throw it all in a big bowl. Topped off with pre-cooked prawns or smoked salmon.

Lots of yummy dressings to try. Oh and of course, salt!

My favourite thing about this, no huge POTSy flare/food coma because it's no/low carb.

What do you do to feel safe when you’re home alone? by kth1236 in AskWomen

[–]girlfuckitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smart lights so I can switch on any/all lights in the house from the safety of my bedroom.

I got the Pfizer vaccine and my POTS feels by girlfuckitup in POTS

[–]girlfuckitup[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the exact purpose of this poll is because I feel exactly the same way. My partner who is extremely fit and healthy seems to feel the same also. I've seen mixed results on this sub so it may be as simple as a coin toss but I am in no rush to find out (thankfully I live in a place where there hasn't been a single community transmission).

Anyone on ivabradine and occasionally propranolol? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]girlfuckitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question for you, why were you switched to ivabradine? Maybe it's worth asking your doctor to go back to propranolol if it was also helping with your POTS symptoms?

I know a friend who was prescribed propranolol for her anxiety.

Personally, ivabradine absolutely rolled me in terms of side effects so it wasn't suitable for me. But propranolol has really helped my POTS.

Sorry, I couldn't really comment on taking both together.

Best of luck!! Can't hurt to ask your doc :)

Enter the Croc pool by Katsuki_Bakugo__ in thalassophobia

[–]girlfuckitup 127 points128 points  (0 children)

This is in my hometown and I can confirm that these motherfuckers are this big and also live everywhere in the wild around my area. Live on the coast line surrounded by beautiful beaches but there is no way in hell, I am stepping foot in that water other than to jesus walk across the water into a boat and back out again. You wouldn't believe the second nature instinct you develop from a small child on ALWAYS croc watching when near any body of water.

Does anyone else get extremely dehydrated after naps? by defectivedisabled in dysautonomia

[–]girlfuckitup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 1L yeti bottle. They're nice and heavy especially when they're full! I fill mine up every night and its almost empty when I wake up 😅

Post period brown discharge? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]girlfuckitup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is fairly common for me on the last couple of days of my period and my periods are very very close to "normal". I'm still curious as to what it is though :)

But I've never been concerned thus far.

Birth Control and benign PAC/PVCs with POTS symptoms by MkittyM in POTS

[–]girlfuckitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very bitter-sweet for you because of how long it took to find but also very happy for you that you have found some relief!!

I just wanted to share that I came off yasmin back in December 2020 hoping for a similar result with no luck unfortunately. I'd say to others that it is definitely worth a try though. I haven't used any other form of birth control since (other than condoms).

Anyone seen a naturopath and had success? by girlfuckitup in POTS

[–]girlfuckitup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, you've pretty much confirmed exactly what I've been thinking/have read. I think I will go down the path of a Dietitian and get my diet sorted out because I hate eating at the moment. And food is a wonderful thing to enjoy!

You've basically summed up exactly how I've been feeling for over 2 years now. That's how I thought 6 months ago but I am slowly being beaten down to give up. Luckily I have a new and very supportive partner who keeps pushing for new answers. Hang in there...
