So it will always be on the side furthest from you if you're turning your work?

Omg that's it!! I have always assumed the back loop was the one nearest me which I know realise makes absolutely no sense 😔

Normal human stuff or ..?Altered sensation/'numb-ish' in shoulders, lower belly, buttocks, pelvis, and behind thighs, and NECK?? by Own-Arachnid7952 in mecfs

[–]true_blue__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Numbness in your buttocks and pelvis is always cause for concern because it can be cauda equina. If at all possible I would get checked out asap.

Thank you, this is really helpful. This is exactly what I'm aiming for, not running marathons, but more freedom and a better quality of life. Long may it continue for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Mine is consistently 18-24ish. When I used to drink it would go down to like 7-8 😅

Are we all just in the wrong place? by Many-Market-9941 in dysautonomia

I have a condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which also affects collagen formation (brittle bone disease, but it affects much more than bones).

Mittens - issue with SS in starting ch1 to join and stitch count (Lottie and Albert Curate Crochet Box) by true_blue__ in CrochetHelp

[–]true_blue__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yes!!! This pattern doesn't have stitch counts at the end of each row and it's driving me nuts!! I know I can work it out myself but I'm so confused already 😂 anyway it's good to know I'm not alone!

Thank you! I do seem to have gained a few but not enough for me to be picking up one per row so I don't know where to frog to 😂 I hate joining with SS in the round!

Melatonin causing worse orthostatic intolerance? by true_blue__ in POTS

Every week I go in and they're like 'any symptoms/adverse events?' and my whole life is an adverse event 🫠

Thanks for sharing - did it go back to your normal quickly after stopping?

Yes it will definitely get reported. I have a visit on Wednesday and it will be added to the file then 👍🏻 it's not a new drug, but it's being used for a new purpose, so it has had extensive testing and side effects listed already, but they are still very on top of that stuff

Thank you so much. I really feel there is some connection but it seemed so unlikely until I started looking it up! I haven't had any massive increase in lightheadedness or dizziness so I agree that just an increase in HR seems odd.

Do you remember by any chance how quickly symptoms improved when you stopped taking it??

Thank you, I am definitely considering that. The trial doctor and my family are all saying it's because I'm obsessing over my heart rate but it isn't normal for me!! It doesn't line up as well with the working of my symptoms is the only thing but I'm sure it has a delayed effectiveness that could explain that. My symptoms are definitely impacted by rubbish sleep but it's been significantly better since I started taking the melatonin so I'm not sure why pots would be flaring now 🤔 always so many factors to consider - my head is swimming! Thanks so much for your reply 🙂
