  1. I haven't gotton one since I got sick... Personal reasons. In our past dinet newsletters, dr raj addresses this question. I'll try to find it
  2. I'm in the process of investigating mcas Prior to pots I've never had reaction to much Now, meds, food, perfumes/pollen I have a script for a h1h2 blocker but haven't started yet. Waiting on lab results. My histamine plasma level was a bit higher than norm. I've worn glasses for years.. So no advice on contacts. Processed foods/ leftovers hear tell are the worst for histamine issues. I've already given up caffeine... If chocolate is on the chopping block I will be sad. Keep us posted
  3. Mine are cracked have vertical ridges and are thin Nail bed color pale at times

  5. My head is heavy when the weather is bad, I've slept too long. It was constantly an issue until I put my bed on a tilt for 18 months. I've been sleeping evenly for 6 mos now with a bit of pillow propping
  6. My norm laying is in 60s, sitting 80s standing 100 Unless I'm flaring then add 30+ points to each category
  7. I just saw ent for allergy panel. Since pots struck I've had odd reactions to food, environment and fibers. Keep ya posted. Good advice on the thread!
  8. Breathe. You are doing well. You've got a few tools in your toolbox. Fluids salt exercise. I understand about the insecurity of the future. I have to remind myself to get through the day. You've got a good gameplan. That says a lot. Weddings and the like are stressful to begin with. Do what you can do. My fav analogy is you've got to put your oxygen mask on first then help others put theirs on... I remember this from the days I flew on an airplane. The thought of flying now... Not a happy one. Hang in there
  9. Vertigo. Ugh. I get the sensation lately like when I stop moving it feels like I'm still going. No explanation. I hit my reset button and rest and hydrate and wait it out. I've had head MRI and ct so that makes me feel a bit better about vertigo
  10. I get goosebumps every so often with no rhyme nor reason. No explanation for ya. Sorry Hang in there

  12. I had a flare that started immediately after a yoga pose with my head backwards and a block behind my back. In pt I did ok as long as I didn't lay down. I saved those stretches for right before bed at home. Trial and error I guess like everything else with the life of dysautonomia
  13. The only thing I could add at the moment is the bed elevation. We have a queen sz log bed. We used a 6by6 I believe railroad tie. Worked perfect.
  14. Yikes. I'll be good and tired. Hope to not have syncope while there :/

  19. I still left the rheum office with the dx of hypermobility with possibility of eds type 3 With hypermobile joints except back, swelling and joint pain, mild slips of joints, easy bruising, pots and aortic root dilation
  20. Ahhh everyday we are educating. I found my voice with this illness. I've always been a type a but I second guessed myself. Not so much anymore. I've walked into rheum for my eds type 3 dx... Based on clinical not lab. They've left the room before and have come back stating the same thing I just said to them. Patience perseverance and planning,... Start your folder of knowledge. Share when you need to. Welcome to camp wanna new nervous system.
  21. Sending thoughts your way I know I've been into er for low hr. 50s sitting up feeling like junk... Er staff confused... Not sure what to do when it's low but doc says..hey you're not tachy Isn't that great? Um yeah.sure doc. I find that same feeling after iv fluids as well... Where you tell your body this is good for us don't freak out. Normally I have a better few days 24 hours post fluids.
