I'm sorry you have to deal with OCD and PTSD on top of everything else! I had no idea. It seems like dysautonomia increases anxiety levels and mood swings a lot so I can't imagine how much harder that is for you. Do any meds help those conditions?

Thank you! That is very comforting and would be nice to have happen. I try to not go on the ovarian cancer forum often because not only are people dropping like flies lol (ok that was inappropriate, but true) but also it's sometimes better I think to be surprised and not expect to experience a lot that most do! Thanks for the info! I like it.

Yay! Yay! Yay! That's awesome. Maybe it will work great for you like it does for me! I love my propranolol.

I hope your day was a good one and the propranolol works wonders for you!

I dont drive either but its nice having incase I have to for an emergency. I guess here they dont report it.

How do they find out about the syncope and take your license? I always wondered because I am even on disability and have syncope and blackout spells but still have my license.

I am feeling some better than yesterday. Only passed out once today yay! And not as bad tachycardia, no fever, and headache is just mild now. MUCH much better!

Aww, I hate when that happens and you made it all the way to the doc office and then start to feel horrible. I had that happen and docs would get mad at me. Then you had to drive home feeling like that, yikes. Glad you made it home and got a good nap. I'll be praying tomorrow is better for you.

Is it still the coreg causing it? I hope you rested today! Take care my friend

Thank you Blue, you are so kind, I'm getting help, my doctors are wonderful.

That's exciting! I'm impressed that you are doing all this and have such great goals despite your health. You will make it, you have the drive and motivation.

Lol, dont you sometimes feel like you're back in junior high?

That's why you need to be reminded...you ARE one tough cookie i wouldn't be able to handle even one class. There are days I even procrastinate simply making needed phone calls or paying bills. I dont have the mental or physical strength. So doing what you do takes a lot of strength. What are you getting a degree in? It will be all worth it when its over.

Oh I can only imagine. Do you go to classes daily? I dont know how you balance it at all, you are one tough cookie

Thank you Megan, that makes a lot of sense. You're right we all dont just have one problem and I didn't think of it that way. Thank you for your support always, you are a great friend and I am thankful for you!

Thank you so much. It's times like this that I hate not having anyone to talk to, so thank you for offering. Its hard because I am having lots of problems but feel like I dont belong on the cancer forum or here because I dont really know what is chemo and what is POTS related anymore. Its both! So, I guess I feel like I'm lacking support if that makes sense.

Glad my story made you smile

You know you are doing the right thing for you and thats what matters.

I agree with you, one of my grandmas is the same way about her herbs but the funny thing is her health is horrible so yeah herbs are great lol. She also thinks everyone has a thyroid problem and if you get a cold....its thyroid. Diarrhea? Thyroid lol. Some people just dont get it. Natural remedies are nice for some things but western medicine is needed too! Sorry she is putting added stress on you.
