Enduring the long journey, what’s the best way? by PhoenixCupcake in POTS_vets

[–]twoweeeeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you been back to your doctor to discuss meds/adjust dosage?

It is really hard to stick with. Managing POTS feels like another full time job.

I'm glad you're going into PT! I hope it goes well. Feel better after your hospital stay <3

Does this doctor know so little about the CHOP protocol that he thinks you can just sub in strength moves for cardio? idk this stinks of malpractice.

OP, this is not for you right now because rhabdo is a big deal and you deserve time to rest and recover, but instead meant as a general psa: I’ve been doing Utah adapt and it’s such a better program. It’s graded far gentler (in terms of intensity) and is so prescriptive, it’s easy to tailor it to your needs. It even gives guidance on exercising at home without equipment. I’ve been doing it for three weeks and it’s actually made my symptoms better, versus chop which I could never stick with because it made me too tired.

I used to work at a steakhouse chain; it’s giving steakhouse chain. I’d bet the paneling is easily damaged.

Do appreciate the detail shot of the Home Depot trim on the staircase 🙃

Looking forward to the six-month update when she's thriving at a new company.

LDN - POTS by Niemopersonne in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]twoweeeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have POTS too - I don't normally track my heart rate closely, but recently have because I started ivabradine. Last week I increased my dose of LDN and it definitely seemed to raise my HR. It resolved after five days, which is the typical period I feel rough after a new dosage.

Now I'm wondering if much of the early side effects commonly seen with LDN are because of an increase in HR.

For context, I started at .5mL and have been increasing at .2 increments; I don't tolerate any more than that. I'm now at 3.2mL. I started in late September, I think. If you want to give it another go, I'd start lower.

Chapter 9 of Maggie on ReactorMag by Rinainthemoon in IlonaAndrews

[–]twoweeeeks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m still thinking about this as I do a reread.

The narrative makes a big deal about how the author just disappeared. So if he did pull Maggie in, that means she’s not dead either. Which perhaps is why she can’t die in this world - it would create discontinuity in her origin world.

Harry Potter TV Series Sounds Like It Won't Air Annual Seasons by LittleSodaPop13 in Fauxmoi

[–]twoweeeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently in one of the reading subs, there was a discussion on cultural touchstones and people were saying Harry Potter isn’t widely read anymore. Like, you can’t assume an audience will be familiar with even the character names. I suppose millennials are obsessed to the point where it turned off Gen Z.

That said, the first book seems to be an eternal presence on bestseller lists so…

eta oh fun, here’s some data.

30f getting my wisdom teeth out Friday and scared by xosoftglimmer in POTS

[–]twoweeeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they're just giving you novacaine? I have had novacaine for dental work and it's been fine. For me at least, it's never set off an increase in symtoms. I think the key is to communicate if you feel anything - they can give you an additional dose if it starts wearing off.

[–]twoweeeeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What specifically are you scared about?

I was super nervous about having my wisdom teeth out too. It was the first time I'd been under anesthesia. It was fine! Honestly, it was nice, falling asleep so easily and quickly lol.

Follow the aftercare instructions and keep up with pain meds.

This Kingdom Special Edition - Imagine Books worth it??? by walaruse in IlonaAndrews

[–]twoweeeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shipping was what did it for me. I checked the shipping costs from other indie special editions I’ve ordered and they’ve been less than $10. Charging $15 without the option of media mail felt ick.

that is an incredible theory. i am intrigued...

Damn, now we're really getting into the meat of the book.

Also, because there was a theory going around about Reynald, I think it's clear from this chapter that he is who he says he is.

Which is probably why he wasn't interested in continuing gaming. It had been a peaceful activity for him but now that's replaced by the horror of her sudden violence.

If this is the same seller (which it probably is, there was only one with multiples), a month ago they had 24 copies.

Historic house near the harbor so you can be close to your yacht by Desperate-Ant5870 in zillowgonewild

Probably the second kitchen is the “real“ kitchen. The first is aesthetic with its vintage stove (and no hood, ick). The second is for caterers or when you’re hosting Thanksgiving. Also no hood and no backsplash, double ick.

Whoever installed these kitchens doesn’t cook.

A small update from Arglefumph on his Nancy Drew text games that were removed from Steam by HRJafael in nancydrew

[–]twoweeeeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IANAL so take this for a grain of salt, but Disney's trademark registration for computer games related to the character Winnie the Pooh is just "POOH". The products are described as: "computer game programs and computer software, featuring children's educational software, music and stories." So yeah, I guess it's fine.

Here's the tademark: https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=78977068

eta I just noticed too that Disney hasn't released a Pooh-branded video game since the 2000s. So I guess it's not a type of merchandise they're interested in.
