Screaming and swearing and crying and yelling and casting curses because I’ve been having terrible headaches every single day for WEEKS and today I took some salt pills to self medicate for my heart problem (POTS) that’s been acting up a little bit and I feel like 80% better and a brain fog I didn’t even realize I was in has lifted. Thoughts are crisp and minty fresh. Thinking in HD. “That’s great,” you say, “why are we upset about this?” Because I have had that bottle of salt pills since at least September.
I had the solution to my problem the ENTIRE time. If I had remembered, at ANY point, that POTS can cause headaches, I could have solved this mystery weeks ago. And yeah, my head still kinda hurts, but I’m hoping the sobakawa (buckwheat hull) pillow I’m waiting for will help fix my neck issues and then I won’t have tension headaches anymore either.
I highly recommend occasionally looking up The Disorders that afflict you, especially if you have shit memory (due to The Disorders) because sometimes they discover new things but even if they don’t, I now know that POTS is probably the reason I get nauseous and migrainy if my immediate surroundings are hotter than 75°F/24°C
