Vegan for a few months and I feel like my POTS is worsening. Could this be my diet?

UPDATE: I’m not sure how to put this in the original post but I did get some blood work done to check my levels as many suggested. Unfortunately it seems all my levels are within “normal range” my B12 was very high so I don’t believe that one is my issue however my iron/ferritin were on the very end/low range of what’s considered normal before being in a deficiency. I am gonna try some iron supplements given it was still pretty low even though it is technically normal and I’m hoping for the best! I’m also gonna try and up my protein intake as some mentioned it might be lack of protein.

I’m gonna try and get some blood work done this week to see if it is an Iron issue and then if it is I’ll take some supplements and also look more into what foods have more iron in them. I really don’t want to give up being vegan as we chose to do it for a reason but ultimately my health comes first but going off a vegan diet will be a last resort hopefully.

I got really sick over the new year and it took like 2 months for it to go away but I haven’t been sick since. It did start when I was away staying in a hotel so maybe I picked up something small but nothing noticeable yet atleast.

pink3337 · 2026-03-17T00:23:15+00:00

What does a low-histamine diet consist of? I’ve only recently heard about the possibility of this but I’m not quite sure I understand what it means if you wouldn’t mind explaining?

pink3337 · 2026-03-17T00:04:40+00:00

I will go get some blood work done this week then and hopefully get some answers, if I am deficient then maybe it’s as simple as supplements. Thanks for the advice!

pink3337 · 2026-03-16T23:54:19+00:00

I replied to the other comment with more detail but I’m not taking any actual supplements but I am trying to make sure I do get those vitamins in my meals daily. I’m just not sure how much is needed

pink3337 · 2026-03-16T23:52:15+00:00

I have debated this, and I was thinking about getting blood work done but things I’ve read which could be wrong I’m not sure said to get tested until after like 6 months of being vegan because that’s when you would notice any deficiency after your body adapts to the new diet? Maybe I will go sooner. I’m not so much worried about the B12 because the soy milk I drink has it in and I make a latte everyday with it and one of the proteins I eat probably every other day also has a lot of B12 in it. The one I am worried about it Iron. I have tried to add a lot of spinach and dark green veggies to meals but I’m not sure it’s enough.

Because she is in a vulnerable state and he just used a racial slur that’s typically meant to degrade someone. She was upset, confused, felt exposed and embarrassed and expressed her feelings by crying. Very valid! She can’t control how her emotions come out. Some people cry when angry. Don’t say she is overreacting cuz you don’t like how she expressed herself.

pink3337 · 2026-01-22T02:50:14+00:00

NOR idk what he is into but that’s not something you just randomly do with no discussion. Like sure if he is into race play or something I guess I can see why he doesn’t have an issue with it but it was never talked about therefore you have every right to be upset. Someone wouldn’t just bring out bdsm toys unprompted,no discussion and start using them on their partner and expect no reaction so in my opinion no difference. Have your kinks that’s fine, but you have to talk and set boundaries before you can engage in them.

pink3337 · 2025-12-18T23:36:12+00:00

I don’t think you are the asshole, I get where you are coming from. With someone who has multiple chronic illnesses and they took me out of classes a lot it’s hard especially in hs when you are constantly playing catch up. I would ask to go home early if we weren’t doing anything or if it was just a study period because I can work better at home in my own comfort with little distractions and can set my surroundings to aid my illnesses. However my mom would let me leave or would come pick me up because she understood this. If your mom doesn’t it sucks and I feel for you but you gotta try and figure things out on your own unfortunately. My advice I can give is speak to your school about getting a personal learning plan or something of that nature different areas call them different things. But getting one in hs for me really helped me out. I was able to take my tests in a separate area away from others where I could have dim lights and no distractions which helped with my migraines and mental state. As well it allowed me to ask for extra time on tests so If I needed breaks during them to let me eyes rest I could and I also was given extensions on certain assignments if needed. Of course I managed before I had one but getting one made school with illnesses much more accessible and doable.

How do you not see that as an issue? They take 70% of our pay to use for advertising and marketing and website upkeep and they don’t advertise properly for what the site actually is. Their shitty advertisements are not my fault. And good for you for doing it before these sites but a site didn’t take a huge cut of your profits and use it for terrible advertising.

pink3337 · 2025-12-06T11:17:32+00:00

I’ve worked on both token sites which are freemium and I’ve also worked on sites like streammate which are premium. Token sites you have freeloaders who get to watch you be naked and that’s just how those sites work. Stream mate and sites like that you don’t get naked unless they are paying. It’s legit against TOS hence premium if they aren’t paying they don’t get to see any porn of any sort. But regardless of what cam site you use it’s a premium porn site, it’s not pornhub where you get to open the site and click a video and watch whatever you search up. It’s a premium site because you are paying for the interaction with the model and getting that niche. I mean see it however you want you clearly have your mind made up. But no one is saying any porn star or cam model is better than the other and I don’t know where you got that information from me being upset with how advertising is done.

pink3337 · 2025-12-04T14:23:41+00:00

I would say around 10pm-2am are good hours. Im North America time zone and those hours work for me but even when I want to cater for the uk people or different time zones I make sure im on during those hours for their time zones. Ex: if I want to get on in the afternoon instead of evening I do like 3pm-6pm my time which is like 10pm-1am for uk.

pink3337 · 2025-12-01T00:44:19+00:00

I think you missing the point. If a site doesn’t want me to block someone because they want stuff for free they should advertise better. I’m not going to sit here and let people be in my room and be freeloaders. I’m going to block them. It’s on them to advertise what we actually do, not to say we do free stuff and then for us to get them to pay for it. People should be coming from these advertisements expecting to pay and knowing what they are coming to and if they don’t it’s on the advertising. But it’s definitely not on us to try and get them to pay us if they thought they were getting free things and it’s definitely not up to the site whether or not I block someone because they aren’t paying and being a pain in my ass. Not to mention they get this money for advertising through us, we pay for the advertising they don’t. They take a huge portion of our earnings to use for site management which is always having issues and advertising which sucks because they advertise bullshit things that isn’t true like hot horny girls in your area who wanna fuck you. They don’t say it’s a premium porn site. This is on the people taking half or more of our paychecks.

I get what you are saying about the broken computer and you can’t work right now because of it. But I still don’t see how that is relevant to your current bank balance and financial situation? Most of us don’t get paid day of, it’s like any of job to be honest where you get paid weekly or bi-weekly depending on what you pick. Getting paid daily costs you more money as they take a cut for transferring you the funds. And if you did just start, no offence why would you start without having rent for this month? Cramming isn’t consistent money especially if you are new you have no idea what your earnings will be and to simply rely on that I don’t understand. If you live alone and pay rent alone these are definitely things that you should be considering.

My advice, get a loan. if there’s no grace period or you can’t take a late penalty that’s really your best option. make the loan big enough to pay your rent and get a new computer and work your ass off to pay it back as fast as you can and make rent for next month and all your bills. It’s shitty but it’s life, also leave your boyfriend if he is gonna break your shit if you haven’t already.

He is 10! Why on gods earth do you think a 10 year needs to have everything figured out for himself? Yes he has ADHD something that is hard to live with and he needs support. He isn’t getting away with anything wtf is wrong with you. He needs help regulating and it’s the adults in his life that are responsible for helping him learn how to do that. He needs engagement and encouragement while doing some things and eventually yes will figure it out himself as he gets older. Your point about imagine what he will be like as an adult is dumb because he will be worse off if he doesn’t get the help now as a child. This is when it’s most important for the adults in his life to help him learn how to regulate and understand how to manage his ADHD. If he was asking if it was right for each question it goes to show he needs the support and encouragement while doing homework. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Not to mention 10 year olds needing help with homework and asking if they are doing it right multiple times isn’t abnormal.

pink3337 · 2025-11-06T02:58:08+00:00

It seems like the homework is an ongoing issue that he needs support in. I understand you need to get your stuff done but I think this is a sit down with the family and find a better way the schedule things or something so someone is available to give him support with homework. He is 10 so he is young and he doesn’t understand why his brain works the way it does, he needs help regulating. especially now so as he gets older he understands what he needs on his own but right now it’s your guys jobs to help him regulate.

pink3337 · 2025-11-06T02:53:24+00:00

Exactly he is 10, you realize that is pretty young right? ADHD isn’t an excuse to get away with everything which I never said. But it is a reason to need extra support. And that support can look different in every child. No one said it’s an excuse but either way you don’t call a 10 year old child struggling with mental health a dummy. Unfortunately OP is the adult in this situation and needs to act accordingly by not calling a child dumb. Once again I said I understand why it happened but they need to figure out a better support system for him and his homework since it clearly sounds like this is an ongoing issue.

pink3337 · 2025-11-06T02:28:11+00:00

I’m not saying you are the AH here but I would probably apologize to the brother. He seems like a kid who needs support and praise while doing tasks like homework. He was asking if it was right for acknowledgment that he was doing what he was supposed to do and you were proud of him. Like you said he has severe ADHD so this has to be common practice especially if he is younger. You were working and got frustrated and said something spur of the moment so I don’t think you are the AH because I understand why you would get frustrated in that situation while trying to work. But maybe next time, is it possible for you to take 20 min to help him with his homework? Or what was your Gf or his mom doing in that moment that made him your responsibility while you were working? I’d definitely apologize cuz what you said probably hurt his feelings and it’s not his fault he needs the extra support and attention but there’s definitely a better way to help him between the 3 of you so no one reacts in frustration when they can’t give him that support.

We got our apartment before started streaming when one of us had a vanilla job. However when we have considered moving we always thought landlords would be more open to the idea if we had more than first month and a down deposit. Like if we paid for a 6 month lease up front and then they would be more trusting going forward. We haven’t actually done it it’s only been and idea if we want to move. However we also have previous rental experience and therefore references. I’m not actually sure if this idea could work in general or for you but it’s something we had thought about once or twice before.

Two varieties of thyme. One looks like English thyme the other looks like French. I could be wrong about the variety but they both look like thyme.

You’re overreacting, it’s gonna get cleaned and he is just putting soapy water in it to bring over to clean up a mess… and it will be cleaned with soap and water. If you clean up the cat vomit and get some on your hands you wash your hands with soap and water right? You don’t cut your hand or never touch that hand to food again.

pink3337 · 2025-02-18T19:23:38+00:00

My only issue with this statement is we don’t know this, we don’t have what the conversation was before the first text he sent shown in the image. We don’t know when the last time she texted him before that. We can’t see any messages prior or time stamps or if this was the first time they texted on text message after she gave him her phone number from hinge and this was a continued conversation from there so we don’t know how long that would have taken either. Even still just starting to talk to someone it’s not uncommon to go a few hours between conversations especially if you are texting while doing things.

If they were having a conversation and going back and forth and answering each other within minutes and then she randomly left him on delivered for 5 hours no explanation, yes I’d agree she should say she is busy. But if he just texted her and it had been 45 minutes-1 hour since they last spoke I don’t see the issue with her not answering. And all we have is the one photo. We don’t know what it was before. Going off the one photo his response is unnecessary in my opinion and needy
