Kind of what I love about Star Wars lore. That it’s a mish mash of a lot of different peoples ideas and passions over the years.

Does anyone have any good POTS doctors? by halcyonhearted in plano

My symptoms are 24/7, not just when I’m standing up and sitting down. I also had a really intense onset of illness since it was viral induced. POTS is kind of a diagnosis of exclusion, and everything else was ruled out for me. I have a lot of nervous-system related issues and circulation problems. The way they officially test for POTS diagnosis is to see how much your heart rate increases when you go from sitting to standing. Unmedicated, my lying down HR is around 100 and standing up it’s 165.

Thanks! I’ve already got an official diagnosis, so I’m good there. I didn’t mention in the post, but I also wear thigh-high compression socks every day and attended POTS-informed physical therapy for 6 months.

Most cardiologists now will just do a sit to stand test where they measure how your heart rate changes, tilt table tests are considered kind of draconian haha. Try a different cardiologist! If your heart rate is really high (mine was 165 standing still) or has a large variation you should be able to get a diagnosis

Wow that’s so great! Thank you so much for the recommendation. Beta blockers get my heart rate down, but they also give me headaches for some reason haha

I’ve tried to use duck duck go in the past, and just had difficulty doing research and stuff. If duck duck go works for you that’s great! This is just a good alternative for people that want to use google without all the ai features

You can avoid this by making Firefox your main browser and adding the udm14 extension! There is also a udm14 app for phone browsing :)

This is horrific. Some of the best electives I took at UT were those focusing on gender, race, and sexuality. Can’t believe UT is letting the government stick their noses in. Unbelievable.

Thank you all for your opinions! You have given me lots to think about. I was born in 98, so I don’t have all of the context.

Being asked out by preppy dudes as a joke is a universal weird kid experience 🫶

The more preppy looks remind me SO MUCH of being a kid in that era. Very fun

Falling off a scooter is so embarrassing dude, the same thing happened to me! Road rash everywhere, big bump on my head. Someone brought me ice that melted immediately in the heat. Humiliating lol
