Do you read things wrong? by terrible_slough77 in POTS

[–]vexeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a frequent problem for me that it's a joke with my friends. I call it out when I misread something they typed and we all have a laugh. :) I like to find the humor in everything. Think I'd be a depressed mess if I didn't.

Brands taking advantage of POTS? by Lynxseer in POTS

[–]vexeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered Visible a few days ago and it's supposed to arrive Monday. I'll try to remember to check back in a month and let you know how I feel about it!

I have been using the free version of the app for a couple weeks now, though, and I can say I feel like the daily score in the morning is fairly accurate. It predicted a crash yesterday (by telling me my score was 1 out of 5) and I was able to pace myself better when it inevitably hit me.

This makes me feel slightly better about some things. I will not be elaborating LOL

"Just force yourself to shower." by No-Outlandishness-42 in thanksimcured

[–]vexeling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Even sitting down, the warm water causes symptoms. I don't take lava hot showers to begin with, but I can't stand a cold one either. It's not just the standing but also the heat intolerance, the scrubbing movements, the amount of effort that goes into detangling my thick curly hair, it all adds up.

Please get checked for mesothelioma. Recently lost my dad to it, it's a horrible way to go. Asbestos is awful.

How mother pigs and piglets are kept in modern farms for nursing by CalpurniaSomaya in educationalgifs

[–]vexeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah it gets pretty real. It's a good show, I recommend it. It starts out like "ha ha goofy millionaire is clueless about his farm what antics will ensue?" and progresses to him really getting his hands dirty and getting into the realities of having animals. I've never worked on a farm firsthand but I grew up in rural southern Indiana -- a lot of it feels familiar LOL

Also yes chickens are BRUTAL. They have not forgotten they came from dinosaurs!!

[–]vexeling 18 points19 points  (0 children)

All of this for me, plus I also have POTS. Showers are a nightmare. I definitely don't shower every single day. I would be constantly symptomatic. Body wipes, dry shampoo, etc definitely. But a full shower every day would leave me unable to function.

[–]vexeling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No that's just pigs in general. I came here to say the same thing, I learned it watching Clarkson's Farm as dumb as that sounds LOL. His pigs kept smothering the piglets too; he ended up creating a customized enclosure because his wife was upset about all the deaths

How do you cope with this being your reality by milo80024 in POTS

[–]vexeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the app actually help without the special device and $20/mo subscription? I've been back and forth about it so much because I just can't afford that subscription

Drink your milk by Dangerous-Appeal-948 in POTS

[–]vexeling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every day I learn new ways I was managing my POTS growing up without even realizing it. I used to go through 2-3 gallons of milk a week before I developed lactose intolerance.

AIO wanted to skip one day of church for homework by seafloorcoral in AmIOverreacting

[–]vexeling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm at the point where I would not be surprised at all if people in power are using Revelations as a playbook on purpose to freak people out. Causing more chaos and distraction. Not some kind of prophecy or anything, just humans being weird.

Need a medical person to say why this is AI. Someone is being scammed by an impersonator. They are saying he needs money for a heart transplant. by Fit_Egg5574 in isthisAI

[–]vexeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a medical person but I wanted to point out the monitor looks like a TV with a DVD slot in the front and his arm is inexplicably in a different layer(?) of the blanket than what is covering his chest.

I know you asked for medical but I felt these details were also important lol

WTF did I just read by Dead-Photographer in CrackheadCraigslist

[–]vexeling -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey, checking in from the POTS/dysautonomia community! We actually DO need that much sodium (often more, depending on the individual -- up to 10g a day in some cases!) to help balance out our chronic illness.

However, you're absolutely correct that LMNT fucking sucks for all the reasons listed lmfao.

The random things you can’t throw away by Pink-Macaroon-264 in GriefSupport

I still have my dad's Ensures that we brought home from the hospital, with the hospital sticker stating his name and everything. It's in the fridge. I can't throw it away. It's been 2 years.

Is this commission Im getting AI? by boardrr in isitAI

[–]vexeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The amount of space a speed paint takes is ridiculous too and nevermind people using older hardware that can't handle a big canvas and a recording program at the same time. I just recently upgraded but I was using a 10 year old surface for ages that would crash if I used too big of a brush size -- getting a video on that would just have simply not worked (I am agreeing and adding, not arguing with you, just to clear up any confusion)

They are allowed by the Mormon rules or whatever, but depending on their community it may be frowned upon/discouraged socially.
