1. I had a blood test today which hopefully will shed light on a long term health issue.
2. A toasted teacake and hot tea on a cold morning.
3. Bird watching. Sounds crazy, but the best thing to take with you when birding is an old carrier bag to sit on when tree stumps are soaked with rain; the bag is definitely a good thing.

It's kind of exhausting how regular healthy people are allowed to complain about a headache, but when we complain about recurring symptoms, we're too "negative."

Can we please just be allowed to complain that we feel like garbage every now and then? 😩

Also, this time a few years ago I fainted and broke my teeth. AND this time last year I had a bad symptom flare. So like... Its extra nerve-wracking in the spring to just not feel great. 🙃 so beautiful outside, feel so... Not beautiful on the inside!

#dysautonomia struggle rant

I've been dealing with #POTS for quite a while now. Now, for whatever reason, in addition to hr spikes when standing, my heart decides to be very calm out of nowhere. Like, to the point I can't take a beta blocker for the tachycardia, because when it calms down, I'll be dizzy. But ALSO when I'm 'normal,' I'm getting spontaneous body-driven waves of panic, which a beta blocker would help. But I can't. So?

1. Day out with the family, lots of smiles and cute pictures of the kids.

2. Saved myself from passing out today! Close one 🫠
(The trick was a caffeinated soda, salt, and sitting today) #POTS #Dysautonomia

3. Got some fun fidget-ey items at a shop. Apparently that's a thing for me. 3D printed critters and some rubix-style cube thing brought me a surprising amount of joy. #AuDHD

Noticed a couple of #Bipolar episode tells: #OCD and fidgeting in overdrive. Hands are drier from excessive washing. I wasn't even really thinking about anything, but suddenly I noticed I was always rubbing my fingers. Then when I went to make food, my 'station' had to be completely free of every single crumb, and the things I was about to use needed to be aligned either perpendicular or parallel to the counter edge. 😬

Its surreal kind of... Analyzing and observing my symptoms.

All right, so all of you using Signal may want to pay attention to how your notifications are being delivered.

There’s a confirmed case of the FBI - targeting alleged “antifa members” - were able to extract signal message content using the notification system in iOS. They pulled the messages from cached notifications at the OS level.

Mitigation for this: go into Settings -> Notifications -> Notification content, and limit what is passed through messages. Your options are show everything, show name only, or show only that you have a new message. The latter option being the most secure one.
