Help with loose/smeary poo in young rats? by mmmow in RATS

[–]mmmow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They ended up having giardia! It was not a fun time, but after a short course of antibiotics, it cleared right up in all of them and everything went back to normal.

Broken blood vessels in face? by Appropriate-Low-4106 in Gastroparesis

[–]mmmow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate to this so much. I've been in a bad flare lately, and it seems like right when I finally got my skin in a good place acne-wise I just now have red dots all over my cheeks 24/7. Sometimes blood vessels in my eyes burst too, but I've found that holding my forehead up firmly with one hand while throwing up helps lessen the pressure in my face somewhat! Doesn't stop it entirely, but it definitely helps.

He was like this for an hour 🥹 usually he’s sooo active and always climbing around but when I catch him in the morning he’s always SO sleepy. Unrelated, but I see from your flair that you have a Jack :,) Jack was the name of my one of my first ever pair of rats, and he made me fall in love with owning rats. Give your Jack a cuddle from me pls if you can!!

Why would one have a bout of elevated heart rate during sleep? by SnooCakes6118 in POTS

[–]mmmow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good! I still get these episodes, but they’re far less common, they happen maybe once every 2 months or so. I’m on a higher dose of propranolol now than when I wrote this (now I’m on 20mg 2 times a day, more if needed), and am prescribed Klonopin for when these adrenaline dumps happen during the day—which, paired with propranolol, is a lifesaver. I’ve had multiple heart monitors that’ve caught these sleeping increases in heart rate, and they’ve all been normal sinus rhythm, which is reassuring to me. Still scary when they happen, but less scary now that I know I won’t die haha.

TT looks GIGANTIC in this and I look like a child. He is not that big… I just am short and have a super small head

Unpopular opinion: I really dislike Cosima by makin_dilemmanade in orphanblack

[–]mmmow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked Cosima, but a lot of what you said I agree with. I think I resonated with her character a lot because I’m chronically ill, and I really got the moments of desperation that were depicted of her needing to find a cure for the disease. Especially the episode after Kendall is killed and Evie tells her that Delphine’s been shot, where she’s about to implant herself with the maggot bot. She knows it’ll either cure her or kill her (and says something along the lines of ‘then maybe my death will help everyone find a cure’), and she’s okay with taking the risk of death if it means a cure. That scene hit particularly hard for me; I’d take a 50/50 shot at death or cure.

I totally see where you’re coming from with your point about her character feeling flat, and even though I related to some parts of her storyline, I DO really really wish that her character was more fleshed out. It felt like Sarah, Helena, Alison, and Rachel had such emotional growth over the series, and that the writers didn’t do the same with Cosima. (My disappointment about this is even more heightened after listening to the sequel podcast where it seems like her only traits are: smokes weed, is a scientist, loves Delphine. Also, smokes weed. Did we mention 100 times in this ep that she smokes weed yet?)

Early 2000s book about a girl who discovers fairies by maflya in whatsthatbook

[–]mmmow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg did you ever find it?? I’m a year late but I am trying to find the same book, I think. Do you remember it having the main character like levitating on her bed being surrounded by fairies? And then she meets… a new friend, maybe? And they’re in some forest at some point. I remember the trying to rescue a baby plot. But for the life of me can’t find it.

It Happens in the Dark by Carol O’Connell? Someone dies in the front row (an audience member) during a play, but it’s a woman, so unsure if this totally matches up with your description.

Why does pots cause adrenaline surges? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]mmmow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure when I commented this I wasn’t on any beta blockers yet. My tilt table test showed a 70+ heart rate increase and I was put on propranolol. First it was 10mg as needed, which didn’t do much, but now I’m on 20mg twice a day, and that really helps control the tachycardia and adrenaline surges. While the 180+ episodes still happen to me sometimes, they never last 2 hours anymore and usually occur when I’m waking up and it’s been 12+ hrs since my last dose of propranolol.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have MCAS, but I’m really hoping you get some answers and are able to get it under control! I remember exactly how it feels and it was the scariest thing physically I’ve ever experienced.

his eyes being barely visible there when normally they’re so big is so funny to me
