thank you for always being realistic and honest in your vlogs. I know this must take a lot of your energy and I want you to know that we appreciate you and are here for you, in the depression, the slowness, whatever you're willing to share 💛
I’m sorry you’re not doing well mentally, but this video is beautiful and really made me happy!! Thanks for sharing even when you’re not feeling great. Sending you love!!
I dont think i can explain the amount of pride and just pure joy that I get from watching these videos. I can tell that you really care about making your house your own and I am so proud of you for doing all of this and editing these videos even w everything you have going on health wise! sending so much love 💕
not sure if this is helpful for you but an old softball trick to cooling down quickly is holding cold things (we used cold water bottles bc that’s what we had) underneath your armpits- along with a cool towel around the neck. i 100% empathize with the constant exhaustion and it takes such a toll both physically and mentally. i hope you get the medical care you need!
Electrolyte water and increasing salt intake helps a lot with hydration, which normally helps with POTS symptoms. I've noticed a difference since switching. Just a heads up, the beta blockers can drop your blood pressure, so if your baseline is already on the lower side, just make sure to be careful. More salt and water was recommended to me to help get the BP up. I can't do beta blockers for my POTS because my BP will not come up no matter how much salt and water I intake, but there are other meds out there! P.S. I LOVE that light fixture
Really helpful info I tried this just through various trials and errors and electrolyte and salt and diet coke also helped during my pregnancy symptoms 1st trimester as everything breathing and dizziness and weakness wise got worse then too.
I have also been struggling with long COVID and love watching your vlogs! I went to the doctor today and they actually tested me for mono and I was positive! So that explains some of my more recent symptoms! It's also pretty common to get strep repeatedly while you have mono. just FYI if you haven't been tested yet! I hope things improve for you soon!
I got diagnosed with POTS from long Covid as well. I’m so sorry you have to go through this, not something I would wish on anyone. I’ve found compression socks have helped me a lot! And peloton rides oddly enough, strengthens your calf muscles to push the blood pooling in your legs back up to your heart
I absolutely empathize with how Meghan is feeling with long Covid, her symptoms are very similar to things I deal with as a post cancer patient. I am constantly out of breathe and cough/get lightheaded going up one set of stairs and it is so exhausting to live like this. I’m sorry you have to go through this is well ❤️
The quality of some of this footage is incredible, you are super talented! Even if it’s only filming a light fixture, you make it super clean and crisp 🙂
I had Covid last year and now I'm dealing with strange heartbeat issues. I've never had anything weird happen with my heart in my life. You have my empathy.
I am diagnosed with POTS as well and I feel for you babe. Its not easy and I'm sorry you are struggling so much. It's upsetting standing up and it feel like you just ran a marathon and are going to hit the floor. It's the worst. I hope you are able to figure it out and find things that work for you. I won't give any advice or what works for me because I don't like to do that but it sounds like your dr is on the correct path! Sending so much love and extra spoons :) (that will sound odd if you don't know the spoon theory), join pots groups if you ever want to talk to people that relate, it did so much for me not just physically with the symptoms but mentally knowing what I'm going through is normal for pots and im not just gonna die lol.
Woooooahhhh, you put the wig on and immediately transformed into Rosamund Pike in Gone Girl 😱😱 sorry if you get that comparison a lot. I’ve just never noticed the resemblance until the wig!
You are so amazing. What stores do you usually do your grocery shopping at? Do you ever stock up on water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? It would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip
The plants thing is SO TRUE. I've been feeling so out of control with some health shit for 2 years and I now have propagated so many Pothos and Spider plants. I'm running out of bright spots in my house...it's fine....they're thriving while I'm getting my shit together.
Yes to POTS & Covid can bring up autoimmune symptoms or uncover a chronic illness. So if so, join the cool club! Hiiii :) Covid also is studied to show a very deep weird type of depression. Have you ever been tested for Epstein Barr? Mentioning bc of the strep diagnosis! Stick with it girl… your moving vlogs & settling in make me so happy for you!!!
POTS suggestion, while elevating your legs just slowly pump your legs to help your blood and heart get in a more casual tempo. Tends to help my POTS episodes
So very sorry you are going though that shit still and feeling so crappy. On a lighter note no pun intended...love that light and the little gold knobs. Brilliant gurl!
The short wig on you gives me Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman vibes. Watching you swap out the knobs in your bathroom gave me an idea of how to "update" the cabinets in my own. My house was built in the 70's, and it looks it! When you get in to the cardiologist, ask about the Ziopatch, 7-14 day holter monitor. It's a little larger than a dexcom sensor, and is just taped on the left side above the breast. I have POTS/dysautonomia, but this test also recorded it, plus some SVT's and other anomalies. The highest hr recorded on me was 181, with the lowest at 55.I don't "exercise", I just walk around the house doing "normal" activities, but my heart doesn't know the difference apparently. My ability to breathe after the Vid has been different. Sometimes I have to focus on breathing so I don't pass out.
Going to do something for me Tonight and take it seriously. Going on two interview's and looking forward to opening up the best Way's to see what I am going to become with my careers.
Hey Meghan! Hope you read this :) I’m a holistic nutritionist/athlete/scientist/bad bitch 🤘🏼 I think that wim hof breathing could be really amazing for you- ask your doctor first of course. Hope you feel back to your old self ❤ love your videos gurl
Ok, I know this video and the events in have taken place months ago, but I'm catching up (because I'm on lady times and your videos are relaxing, let me know I'm not the only woman chugging along out here, and you were on my mind recently...getting to that point in a sec...), and continuing to watch as you go through your health "process of elimination" I can't help but bring up to you the possibility of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome/Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder? It was brought to me by a Chiro recently, and ever since she has sent my mind into a warp speed of connecting the dots and the people I've known of in my life I've been drawn to who have similar traits/symptoms. And, for give me If I'm way behind on this suggestions of health recourse, and if it's already been suggested by someone. It just seems like that's pretty much the glaring thing in the mirror of my life right now lol. I'm seeing it everywhere, in so many people, and all arrows pointing to it. So much just makes sense now about the things I've experienced with my body and my health over the years (in my mid 30's btw...like, huh....ex..cuse me?! Now someone is bringing this to my attention? lol) Anyway, I may have quite a milder form of the sort (currently in the process of seeking out consultation from a geneticist and genetic testing, but I pass the Beighton test with ease and have had unexplainable body fatigue, random blood pressure issues, pelvic issues, IBS, etc.), I've learned that people with EDS/HSD tend to have POTS as well as alot of the other things you've mentioned you deal with. So, if it helps any I hope you're able to do some investigating, research, try the Beighton test for yourself, and maybe get genetic counseling/tested for connective tissue issues. Because, if you have a connective tissue gene mutation at all this could be the main reason you go through as much pain, discomfort, mental health, etc ups and downs, realizing it's all apart of a bigger umbrella. I know everyone's case is specific to them, but I'm sure ...if this might be the case...it doesn't help, and here's to hoping this might aid in helping you get to the root of it all. I appreciate your transparency and authentic effort to just keep going whether by "pushing yourself because you have to get certain things done or else they won't get done to your satisfaction" days or gentle days, or just needing to "lay still and say me first" days, I'm with you! 💜💙💚🦓
@@demilts but you’re saying Australians wouldn’t be able to just watch the movie and understand this fictional title to the plot? Lol Australians speak English and cultures are not far off in terms of understanding a romantic comedy film lol
I know how ironic this is given that my name is Karen but I would report that nurse! So inappropriate, awful and so far out of the scope of their license.
I wish I could get you in to see my doctor i know that sounds weird but his name is Robert Wilson he’s a neurologist who specializes in dysautonomia and the meds he prescribed me are the only thing that have helped me in 15 years of having POTS
