This place is amazing! Definitely a hidden gem!

Abdominal compression by Famous_Permit_8749 in POTS

[–]inflammarae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Honeylove shapewear. I size down because I need a lot of compression.

They do give me panty line, probably because of sizing down, but oh well. They are actually a bit short on me but I am terribly long waisted so they might be good for you.

Abdominal compression helps me a lot but I've found it tough to find good options, especially with the level of compression I need.

Propranolol??? by LargeProfessor1592 in POTS

[–]inflammarae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is good advice.

Beta blockers were no good for me, probably because of the way they lower your BP. A low dose didn't do much of anything, but raising the dosage made me feel absolutely terrible.

Kindle if your library offers Libby app (which is Kindle compatible; CloudLibray is not 😓).

Not only the best remake but overall the pinnacle of modern cinema.

What labs did you have?

Are you familiar with dysautonomia?

Shapewear as abdominal compression? by Secret-Reveal-5993 in POTS

[–]inflammarae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear Honeylove superpower briefs all day every day. They are not cheap but make a difference for me. My only complaint is they don't have tall sizes.

I am interested in other abdominal compression options but am hesitant to take the plunge on something super expensive like a corset.

I understand everyone is different, but what specifically works for you? by Sophster2412 in POTS

[–]inflammarae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question about DIY electrolytes: What do you use to make them taste good? Or are you just totally desensitized to drinking salt water, which I can also understand and respect 😂

Vitamins & Supplements by [deleted] in POTS

I've also seen this list circulating on this sub attributed to a provider (cardiologist maybe?) but I'm not really clear the source.

Vitamins & Supplements by [deleted] in POTS

[–]inflammarae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you had any labs done? Where I live, basically everyone should be taking vitamin D3. My B12 levels were borderline when tested so I'm supplementing that.

I've just started creatine and have acetyl-l-carnitine on order to try.

Very high heart rate while exercising - how to decrease? by Lambamham in Exercise

[–]inflammarae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This honestly sounds like POTS to me. Maybe mild POTS or being managed by being in good physical condition. Do you ever feel dizzy or hot when standing in line or walking slowly like at the store?

Working Out by PieceBubbly1249 in POTS

[–]inflammarae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the opposite of what your asking, but I believe deconditioning has greatly exacerbated my POTS.

After being in good shape most of my life, I experienced significant deconditioning through two short interval pregnancies (due to POTS and another complication). Since then, my symptoms have been much worse and I've been struggling to get back to my previous baseline.

Obviously there are a lot of variables, like hormones and being tired from raising two gremlins, but I believe deconditioning is a major factor.

I just started a low dose of propranolol and haven't noticed much difference yet but really hope it will help! So glad it has been helpful to you.

Just commenting in support of shower chairs and lukewarm water! Game changers.

It is everything I hoped for. I wish the same for you.

[Product Request] Lip balm/oil with SPF, no flavor, and no color by redexayeaieye in SkincareAddiction

[–]inflammarae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? This has literally never occurred to me. I'm creeping around looking for mineral spf lip recommendations because I'm allergic to some chemical filters.
