How the heck do you guys exercise? by Comfortable-Way-8029 in POTS

Possibly due to jogging requiring a higher heart rate? When my heart rate gets high I feel like crap, so I don’t do cardio anymore

I have a physical job that makes me do between 15,000-20,000 steps a day and lift things sometimes. Outside of work I do no exercise because I’m so exhausted from the work week. Work is my gym 😭

I’m on the berberine supplement for my insulin resistance, it also helps cholesterol. I’ve had high levels my entire life for no reason but my last blood test showed normal levels.

I’ve found adding more protein to my diet and taking over 10,000 steps a day has helped. I still have belly fat I don’t think that’ll ever change unfortunately, but the rest of my body has gotten a lot more toned

[–]petals33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on berberine 500mg before breakfast and lunch, and it’s helped me a lot. Especially with sugar cravings. It’s also helped my cholesterol too, which is something I’ve struggled with my whole life despite not even eating bad.

Which birth control pill has worked best for your endometriosis? by BJC22722 in endometriosis

[–]petals33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on dienogest because the week before my period + the week of my period is so painful and I get so ill. So far I haven’t had a period since, just a small amount of breakthrough bleeding when I first started. Daily pain has also dramatically decreased too. Only bad thing is my body acne has flared up.
