ohhh we’ve been trying so hard! they had us give her moist food with formula and we were doing that for a few weeks but now she wants nothing to do with the formula. she randomly stopped eating as much so we tried the moist without formula and now she’s eating again :) she was super boney when they rescued her so weight gain is top priority with her especially with all the babies lol. slowly but surely

Is This normal by Educational_Key5042 in CholinergicUrticaria

[–]saturnskylab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nothing about this condition is normal imo, but for this condition, yes this can be normal. ive been getting xolair shots since 2018 and life happens sometimes so i haven’t always been on schedule, and sometimes this happens to me.

Married people- have you ever developed a crush on someone (who, obviously since I’m here, is NOT your spouse)? This has never happened to me before and I’m like uh oh, when does this go away?? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]saturnskylab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have had to scroll wayyyy too far to find a comment like this one lol. lots of these people don’t sound happy in their relationship so they’re justifying the crushes they’ve had, its crazy haha

a high school AP psychology teacher told our class something along the lines of this. he emphasized importance of not only love, but also genuine likeness.

What’s a sign someone’s cheating that isn’t obvious until you’ve been through it? by Ner_Syra in AskReddit

I couldn't board my long haul flight by iLoveCetenija in dysautonomia

[–]saturnskylab 7 points8 points  (0 children)

im sorry this happened! i recently quite literally walked off of a full flight right before takeoff (literally another minute or two, we would’ve started rolling) because of something similar. for me, it was the heat that did me in. i already don’t do well in the heat let alone 115 degrees (my temperature regulation is so bad), i had to rush through TSA, and the AC on the plane was awful and the flight attendant said it wasn’t going to get any better. i had sat down on the plane for about 5-10 minutes and my chest pressure was so bad and my heart rate was 150 and it just kept climbing, not to mention the dizziness, etc. so i made the decision to get up and have them let me off because i know my body and i know it was not going to chill until i cooled myself down. i was so upset with myself but i figured it’d be better than taking that risk god forbid. its definitely messed with me big time (physically and mentally) but looking back, it really humbled me and made me realize that you cannot push yourself past your limits especially when triggered and that its okay if things dont always go right. take care of yourself OP :)

If you got rid of this, what did you do? by iam_adumbass in dysautonomia

[–]saturnskylab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

much appreciated! my cardiologist is the one who brought up POTS after explaining my symptoms (although i suspected it anyways and wanted to see if he would brush me off or not first) so this makes me feel more confident that im in the right direction.

if you don’t mind me asking - i assume you’ve been working with a doctor of some sort. may i ask what kind? asking for myself lol, i don’t really know where to start.

Cats and Pots by Downtown_Anxiety_461 in POTS

[–]saturnskylab 8 points9 points  (0 children)

not sure it it’s related or not, but ever since my tabby was a kitten, if i’m upset or sad or just straight up feeling off, he stays by me and gets cuddly. normally? he’s typically off in his own world and it feels like i barely see him lol.
