Uh

Well

No

Actually I already have to take salt tablets for another medical issue. But Wegovy certainly didn’t help that issue.

Oh thank God. I thought it was my IBS acting up again. I’ve been on it for over a year and lost the weight really well, but the constipation was somewhat horrific.

I’m no mental health expert, but saying that to a woman’s father might be considered suicidal or self-injurious behavior.

I would happily have more babies as children are fun.

Unfortunately that requires a partner who values intelligence, child development, learning and desires children. When I find such a unicorn I’ll make as many babies as I can reasonably raise (probably like 2 or three more maximum)

See, what I figured out is that I don’t have to let my son play Roblox. Sure, he might be the “weird” one who’s dad doesn’t let him. But he was going to be “weird” anyway. That’s just how our lives work.

Plus you have AuADHD, having it myself, it makes you vulnerable to predators in ways you can’t understand yet.

Possibly hot take.

Might actually be the time to do it. If the Heritage Foundation gets their way, violence is coming. You need to know who you can trust. Many former moderate/conservatives are waking up. They just need some encouragement.

See there’s a problem here. My philosophy is that she gets off. No matter how hard I work at it. However I can’t just go up and tell women this.

I thought I couldn’t date hot women because of my appearance. So they’d never find out my philosophy.

It actually turns out I can’t date hot women, especially hot women like this, because hot and intelligent are uncorrelated (not positively or negatively, just no correlation). This woman, in particular (assuming that’s his wife) is physically attractive, but given her choice of partner, is clearly unable to think. Why the fuck would I be sexually attracted to someone who can’t think.

Which explains why I don’t even bother following up. The slightest hint of stupid makes them unattractive. So it’s not my appearance, is it? It’s something else that’s wrong with me. I’m like biologically elitist.

It’s not even a conspiracy.

Authoritarianism is inherently anti-intellectualism.

What the absolute fuck did I miss?

I… I’m not sure

Sat on it for too long?

Something is telling me that really don’t want to turn those all on at the same time.

I love how just how shitty the posts get here.

Why? Because fuck you, that’s why.

Sat on it for too long

Actually that’s a really good post. I didn’t know that salt without potassium would make you sick, as the products I used always had an amount of potassium in them.

And listening to our bodies shouldn’t be that hard, but here we are lol

I was in a miserable puddle of sensory overload. 15 years after the test I started learning that yeah I’m probably ASD, and there’s a strange correlation with ASD and POTS. Neuron magic.

And no problem with that yeah.

The sweat test was awful. You basically wear your underwear, lie down in what amounts to a glass oven, then they spread sand all over your and you sit still for an hour and bake. Then they take a picture at the end.

And purple means sweat, yellow means no sweat. It shows what sweat glands activated by the autonomic nervous system. Then you have to shower it off and it takes forever.

They were very professional about it though, it was a nurse, a doc, and technician. I guess they were doing multiple tests at the same time, but I never saw other people doing it. Which was a relief I didn’t really want to see other purple people

It does help me keep volume, definitely. I found ones called “vitassium”. They have 500mg of sodium, 100mg of potassium per pill. That seems to work ok with 3L, so it should help reduce your intake.

It’s kind of weird to think about though. All my life I had to listen to my family having too high blood pressure so I got used to not eating salt.

Well that backfired.

Well, bro, I got some bad news on that front.

I’ve been to two of the best hospitals in the world (not on purpose, just coincidentally and they wanted to check it out in their specialty clinics) and went through some unpleasant testing (one is called a thermoregulation sweat test that they cover you in color changing sand), and that’s the exact same thing I have to do.

I take 4 salt pills, drink 3 liters of water, Gatorade or Pedialyte and a beta blocker. I do cardio. The one thing I am starting to get better at now is lower body strength - my legs are pretty dinky and along with increased blood volume, bigger leg muscles can help ease the symptoms.

The beta blocker thing I got unlucky with though, there’s a few of them that are better for pots but I can’t metabolize them (or maybe I rapidly metabolize them so they don’t work at all, I cant remember).
