@haydentiff I used to work with an old Harley guy and he had lots of old biker friends and he knew the stats and explained: If you ride regularly, it doesn’t matter how good you are, you should plan on laying it down about once every 6 years. Just plan for that— wear protective gear, etc.

@haydentiff @ThePOTSPostman @DaniBeckman No worries at all. I’m glad to hear you’re fighting your way through the healthcare system and getting in to see good specialists.

Hypercoagulable since first COVID infection— ugh. Hopefully things get better for you soon.

@haydentiff @ThePOTSPostman @DaniBeckman I saw this and thought of you:

[Amy Nixon @texasrunnerDFW]

About a month ago, I got dizzy and blacked out briefly during hot yoga class

As a regular exerciser, it was atypical for me, but I figured since I’d had Covid the week prior and the room was hot, my body just needed more recovery

Over the next few weeks, I continued to struggle to get through easy workouts. My heart rate was all over the place and despite adequate sleep, I was tired. I’d have random heart palpitations and felt oddly short of breath at times.

I visited a doctor for a blood panel thinking my iron was low (have been anemic in the past). The results came back normal.

Then two nights ago I broke out in a sweat and started experiencing chest tightness/pain. I asked my husband to take me to the ER, thinking it was likely just a panic attack or severe palpitations, and I’d be discharged quickly.

Two abnormal EKGs later, I was admitted to the hospital

I’ve undergone countless tests in the last 48 hours, working with a wonderful cardiologist to rule out some of the big, scary things

Still have more outpatient testing to do, but as of now it appears I may have something called POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome)

Cardiologists have seen a shocking increase in cases in recent years as sudden onset has been linked to both recent Covid infection and vaccination

Hope to have more answers soon, but for today, I’m thrilled to be released back home to my family

Oh, and currently very behind on housing news, tariff updates, and laundry 🙃

@Sarah_Katilyn fwiw, I used to love Chipotle and eat there all the time, but have stopped going there cuz it has gotten worse over time, just like Panera Bread

[| • | @noobudee]

@haydentiff @ThePOTSPostman @DaniBeckman That’s great to hear.
I’m having flashbacks to getting poked & probulated at Mayo as a kid.
If you’ve found leading specialists in your condition(s) who are not at Mayo and you’re not satisfied with Mayo’s answers, keep going. My solution ended up coming from outside Mayo, fwiw.

@haydentiff I read like you do— tabs and all 😆— but I have a friend who not only doesn’t subvocalize while he reads, but he can scan a page in just a few seconds and it sort of just turns into a movie that he’s watching in his mind. 🤯

[| • | @noobudee]

@haydentiff @ThePOTSPostman @DaniBeckman Hey! yw!
I’m heartbroken to read your messages about what you’ve been going through. I hope you get some relief soon.

@haydentiff @ThePOTSPostman A number of people in my circle have experienced serious vascular and clotting issues after having relatively mild COVID infections.

If you don’t already follow her, you might be interested in the researcher @DaniBeckman . She promotes awareness of the vascular effects of COVID.

@Sarah_Katilyn @basicsediment Care to share?

I’m mostly over my religious trauma, but always interested in the stories of others— especially the mind-blowing stuff.

[| • | @noobudee]

@Sarah_Katilyn Amen! 🙌

Which denom did you grow up in?

(I also get that others can have a good religious experience, but that was not my experience.)

[| • | @noobudee]

@Sarah_Katilyn You’re from South Bend?

[| • | @noobudee]

@Sarah_Katilyn @tessofthenorth @JavShack80 That’s probably not a bad thing, but I do agree with Tess— Six Feet Under is a must at least taste test, and if I’ve understood what you share here, I suspect it’ll get you firing on most, if not all, cylinders

[| • | @noobudee]

@haydentiff @mysteriouz_goal Potential new series to watch: “Jury Duty” streaming on Freevee.

Have you seen “Somebody Somewhere” on HBO? (Somewhat sad)

It’s not a great rendition, but also Tencent’s version of The Three Body Problem — “Three Body” on YouTube

[| • | @noobudee]

@Sarah_Katilyn @cava That looks truly delicious, which is saying a lot because I’m in the land of excellent Mediterranean food (metro Detroit), but what’s that book underneath? 👀

[| • | @noobudee]

@Sarah_Katilyn You can count me triggered.
For some reason I didn’t feel inclined to keep it for the, uh, “nostalgia”. 😆

Am fortunately free of your mentioned comorbidities often seen accompanying the residual trauma. 🤞

[| • | @noobudee]

@rt_gamma @MES_Freak Sorry for the basic question, but what’s the theory behind why these high gamma strike prices act as magnets?

[| • | @noobudee]

@Sarah_Katilyn @BiscoffCookies OMG, that looks like a frozen wet dream! (Unintentionally channeling Tom “Swallowing my own load is so hot” from Succession.)
I’ve not had the Biscoff bars. Thank you!!

[| • | @noobudee]

@Sarah_Katilyn @noosayoghurt Thank you! I’ve tried a the strawberry and lemon Noosa in the past and liked it, but not yet the chocolate fudge. (BTW, coconut is my favorite regular, unfrozen Noosa flavor.) Thanks for the rec!! 😍

[| • | @noobudee]

@Sarah_Katilyn This ice cream commonsewer’s dream freezer right there! And I see you’ve got plenty of Jeni’s too!😍

Eagerly awaiting your assessments!
