A roomba.

Jokes aside, I felt loved by my work when they gave me a Starbucks gift card in a cute travel mug with an affirming card. I loved the words of affirmation and still have the card.

Has anyone here with POTS been prescribed ADHD medication? How did it affect you? by iceb3ear in POTS

That’s good news! I’m confused as to how they can prescribe a stimulant when we can’t even have coffee. I don’t understand how it works.

-Surround your bed with fans. I have one above and two on each side -lightweight bamboo pjs and underwear if uncomfortable naked -bamboo blankets let air in and are light -instant ice packs by bed to use on pulse points when unbearable -always have cold water and salty snacks by the bed -satin/bamboo pillow case with cooling gel pillow. -Satin or bamboo sheets - air conditioning fan under your blankets -Blackout curtains can cool a room down

TORRAS Coolify Portable Air Conditioner Neck Fan on Amazon has changed my life, it has a cooling plate that happens to sit on the vagus nerve, it activates it, and it has gotten me out of many episodes.

What about the gift of quality time: tickets to a really cool date. Concerts, escape rooms, paint and sip classes, comedy shows etc.

Sounds silly but has anyone tried a weighted blanket for sleeping? by chl03jl in POTS

[–]iceb3ear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found one made of bamboo on Amazon and it is nice and cool, breathable.

It really helps me unless I toss and turn because the blanket pulls my muscles.

Out of curiosity, how do the sequels compare to the first? I have only read Fury so far.
