good luck with a second cardiologist appointment. I have only done the nasa lean test but got a diagnosis of pots through it. the instructions tell you to avoid excess salt and water 12-24 hours beforehand.
don't do this but i will also avoid taking painkillers before going to a doctor so that i will be crabby and exhausted and sore because i look fine when i'm coping
Its weird I made the same post about purposely making my symptoms worse on Reddit and it got taken down. You're not really supposed to talk about that. Its understandable but idk how else to get my doctors to take me seriously. And thank you! I hope it goes well too apparently they're a really good doctor

I am absolutely PISSED
I am homeless, disabled, and trying to find housing. I don't qualify since I don't have a I have no income. I asked my social worker about finding housing if my gf lives with me but she doesn't make enough. I asked about getting disability once I receive a proper diagnosis, and I got a MAYBE. Not to mention, I'm so appalled after learning how much disabled people earn in one month. The government wants you to be homeless when you're disabled, and then punsihes you for it.
Happy birthday to meee!!!!! Introducing my walker named Susie, throne on wheels
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED TO MY GO FUND ME TO GET MY WALKER
Call me a gymnast cause I am jumping through hoops trying to get a diagnosis
I did what I like to call a "digital detox" by limiting 90% of the apps I could use on my phone, especially social media. I do this because I find so much negativity in the community. Trust me when I say I know being chronically is hard. But there is no reason any of us need a 24/7 reminder of it.
I also find it difficult when I'm stuck at home for a good majority of my days, with no work, it's hard to keep myseld entertained all day. I end up relying on my phone and I get incredibly sad in the process.
As some of you may know if you watch my YouTube, I was off social media for 7 months. I found it beneficial. While I'm ready to be back on social media, I needed a break
So I only used my phone to film my journey, listened, to music, and text two people. My time spent on my phone was half of what it usually was (really just using the camera app.)
Would you be interested in me uploading to my YouTube channel my journey of a digital detox while living with a chronic illness? Should I do this more often? Would you consider doing this?
Collage jellyfish girl!
Me but my body won't let me nap 。・゚・(ノД`)・゚・。
can the doctor prescribe me for five naps a day, mandatory
Me: Before getting really sick I could easily go to bed around 9:30. Can I still do that? (´ . .̫ . `)
Body: Oh god no! You're staying up till 1 am without choice.
Me: Well at least I can sleep in-
Body: WAKE THE FUCK UP ITS 5 AM AND WE JUST HAD A NIGHTMARE
┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ノ︵ ┻━┻
I thought exercise would cure me so I did one sit up. My back hurts. Everyone is telling me to exercise, even my doctor. I’m trying. Will it actually help???
