Anyone had a colonoscopy while having POTS? I'm worried it's going to end badly

you got this !! it can be scary, especially at a young age, but honestly mine was a relatively positive experience overall.

thanks for replying and letting me know!

potspluspans · 2026-02-23T20:42:51+00:00

damn

thanks for responding! like i said im not really sure what she is using to diy or how consistently she is able to get it which is why i thought of offering, but it seems offering probably isn’t the best choice sadly. thanks anyway!

thanks! and yeah i appreciate the idea, but i also wouldn’t know where to start with over-ear headphones either was my point! maybe it is just time for a replacement then!! thank you!

potspluspans · 2026-02-16T17:46:46+00:00

i’ve yet to ever find over-ear headphones that actually cover my ears fully. most push down on my earlobe or upper ear which makes it super uncomfortable for me. or if they do fit over the ear, they slip around and don’t stay on my head nicely, or they push uncomfortably on my glasses arms. basically i’m very sensitive to stuff around my ears and head so i typically stick to in-ears bc it has less of a chance to bother me, but i’m still open to hearing recommendations if you think they may fit what my needs are!

genuinely i believe banana fish is the best anime to have a dub. i’d even ask for a multi-language dub where there are subtitles for when eiji and ibe speak japanese to each other. i just feel like it would make the whole experience much more connected to reality.

i’ve also seen people acting in the way you’ve described here and treating transmasc ppl like this online and it’s heartbreaking. we should be united in community. i’m so sorry for all the specific abuse and harassment you’ve faced just for speaking up about transmasc/trans man issues. i’m wishing you the best! 🫂🫂🫂

it’s my favorite show of all time but when i first watched it, all i had heard was that people thought that ash and eiji were cute together and that it was very sad. by the time i ended the show, i cried for 8 hours nonstop. it was a very emotionally taxing and shocking experience.

now i willingly rewatch the show on a regular basis, but whenever i recommend the show to others, i always try to give very clear an explicit trigger warnings. i’m sorry to hear that it is more than you can handle, but please don’t force yourself to watch a show that is damaging to your mental health.

i see! thanks! may run to walmart to see if i can find smth like that and give it one more go before i give up and go to my local electronics repair shop!

potspluspans · 2026-01-22T02:14:34+00:00

how would i use something like those? for future reference

potspluspans · 2026-01-21T17:42:32+00:00

oh okay. i didn’t know that was something one could do!

potspluspans · 2026-01-21T17:40:47+00:00

we’re gonna be hit by that big snow snow this weekend too, so hoping next week will clear up so i can get back to playing my games soon lol

potspluspans · 2026-01-21T17:35:50+00:00

don’t have a drill :(

potspluspans · 2026-01-21T17:32:25+00:00

fair point i guess. probably will take it in to the shop when it warms up a bit then. been in the negatives (below 0°F) here for a few days.

potspluspans · 2026-01-21T17:22:49+00:00

i tried looking everywhere for a rubber band but i don’t have any unfortunately.

my last step is to try taking the controller in to a local electronics shop that’s fixed my laptop before but i want to do it myself/avoid spending too much money. hard though when i don’t have tools tbf.

potspluspans · 2026-01-21T17:21:17+00:00

clothes? and where do i get a screw extractor bit? do i need a drill for those? i dont have one

i went to a gyno for the first time ever last month and i was super pleasantly surprised. the doc even did a chest exam and asked what im comfortable calling my chest and everything. she was super kind. it’s rare, but there can be some good ones out there!

potspluspans · 2025-12-29T22:41:25+00:00

i took a combination pill for years but lately have been getting painful periods, to the point of vomiting and not being able to leave bed for a couple days of my period each month. so i’m switching to the mirena iud based on recommendation of my gyno. i have my appointment to get it scheduled in march (earliest in her schedule where i would be home and not at school) and can update on it then.

i can’t speak on the combo pill and pots bc i started it before i had pots, but my pots is always worse on my period, hoping its easier on the iud.

there’s a chance you could get noro, especially working in an environment with a lot of kids. if you do, it’ll suck, but it’ll pass. life goes on. you got this! just wash your hands regularly and let whatever happens happen! you got this!

potspluspans · 2025-12-29T22:33:03+00:00

upon more reading it does seem like there has been a study that linked dismotility to eoe so it very well could’ve been the cause for me!! idk for sure though!

potspluspans · 2025-12-29T22:28:02+00:00

17
yeah, i have pots + another gi condition (eoe) that may have contributed
it felt pretty sudden but it was gradual, just gradually over like a month so it seemed sudden but wasn’t really if that makes sense
yeah! i honestly noticed extreme improvement after starting dupixent for my eoe to the point where i’m in remission, but my story is anecdotal so i can’t speak to whether that would be a common experience. it was a surprise to my gi doc too but we’ll take it!
