#Spoonies: is it possible to sit with your legs crossed ("criss cross applesauce") on a rollator?

My OT has never heard that question before and said we can test the biggest rollator she can find next time I see her, but she doubts it.

I use a cane now (have for 10 years) and want the rollator so I can sit when my POTS flares.

Thank you for your input and expertise, friends! 💙🫂

My brain fog hit in the middle of square dancing tonight. My partner said, "Hey, where'd you go? You ok?" & I snapped out of it. Continued dancing & recalling just fine. For a few seconds I had no clue what the calls were. Wild. This is what I try to explain to my doctor when I say that things go off the rails but resolve relatively quickly. #POTS

I've been dancing with this particular gentleman since my 1st lesson. He said that I looked confused. I was. I had no clue what the calls were!

Hinzu kommt das Tragen von #FFP2 Masken. Es sollte selbstverständlich sein, ist aber durch Desinformation und Framing 'verpöhnt', wenn man das so diplomatisch betiteln möchte.

Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn ihr meine Petition #HygieneNeuDenken chng.it/fFZ4YcTDxW unterschreibt und natürlich teilt ♥

Die Intention ist und bleibt weiterhin, Menschen vor gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen und dauerhaften Behinderungen zu bewahren.

I'm in an uncomfortable #POTS flare. I hurt head to toe. Odd places. Muscles and ligaments. Migraine. Heating pad, high test medical marijuana and hopefully some rest. I still went square dancing. I figured if I'm going to be miserable I might as well have fun doing it. I may regret it tomorrow. Lol.

@riffreporter Ebenfalls auffällig: Österreich war schneller – dort gibt es bereits #OffLabel Medikamente als Kassenleistung – und hat zudem deutlich mehr Medikamente auf seine Liste aufgenommen. Über die Erfahrungen dort mein aktuelles Interview mit Prof.
Kathryn Hoffmann: riffreporter.de/de/wissen/oest Ob die zunächst also max. 4 Wirkstoffe (der fünfte ist zur Prophylaxe) auf #LongCovid beschränkt bleiben, wie vom Bundesgesundheitsministerium
initial beauftragt, oder wie in Österreich auf #MECFS #POTS #PAIS erweitert werden, lässt die BfArM-Publikation noch offen. 🔚

Ein Haufen weißer Tabletten und Kapseln unterschiedlicher Form liegt verstreut auf einer ebenfalls weißen Oberfläche.

Does anyone have a template for tracking migraines in a spreadsheet? I think I'm going to need to make one but maybe something exists already? I want to see if they are getting worse or better over time as I've increased pots meds dosage and also try to figure out how many are hormonal related. #migraine #pots

medRxiv · Dysautonomia in long COVID is prevalent and could explain the frequency of symptomsBackground Long COVID presents with a variety of symptoms. Some of those symptoms could be related to autonomic dysfunction. Our aim is to evaluate the prevalence of autonomic dysfunction in long COVID patients. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study and included all consecutive patients enrolled in several clinical research studies. We performed the following autonomic dysfunction markers: heart rate variability, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure changes during NASA lean test, cardiopulmonary exercise testing and a COMPASS-31 scale. We used linear regression to calculate the contribution of each dysautonomia measure on symptom burden as measured by the modified COVID-19 Yorkshire scale. Results We included 100 patients for this study. Our sample had a mean age of 56+/-11 years, included 53% minorities and 32% were women. Dysautonomia as defined by an abnormal COMPASS-31 was seen in 82%; 95% 72-89 while cardiovascular resting dysautonomia as represented by an abnormal heart rate variability was seen in 60%; 95% 48-70 of the population, orthostatic hypotension in 12% and POTS in 10%. In our adjusted analysis, we found that the beta coefficient for the COMPASS-31 score (0.37) was significant on changes in a self-reported long COVID symptom burden. The orthostatic intolerance and gastrointestinal domains of the COMPASS-31 was associated the highest long COVID symptom burden. Conclusion Dysautonomia is common in long COVID patients and contributes to the overall symptoms seen in long COVID. Identifying dysautonomia has important diagnostic and therapeutic implications. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest. ### Clinical Trial NA ### Funding Statement Yes ### Author Declarations I confirm all relevant ethical guidelines have been followed, and any necessary IRB and/or ethics committee approvals have been obtained.

Welp, the ER visit today wasn't too bad. They did blood work, CT scan, and urine sample. Along with looking at my incisions. Good news is I don't have an infection it's just irritation, but they put me on an antibiotic as a precaution. And all my tests came back normal, so im healing how I should be thankfully. Been spending the rest of today getting dishes cleaned and swapping our old plate set for our new ones, cleaned my skinks enclosure top to bottom, and making supper of course. I even managed to get a shower in! Got my post hysterectomy follow up tomorrow, but otherwise I'll be resting. Did a lot today so I know I'll be paying for it tomorrow. Such is life
