Digestion/food/diet has always been strange. For instance, I could drink a litre of milk one day and be fine, but on another day, even a couple sips and I may as well be lactose intolerant. Completely unpredictable so far. The same goes for drugs, where pseudoephedrine seems to do nothing most of the time, but rarely it can increase my heart rate to the point where I have symptoms of a heart attack and nearly pass out. Other drugs work 99% of the time, but sometimes do absolutely nothing no matter the dose. I generally avoid the foods/drugs known to sometimes cause unpleasant experiences for me.
Before getting out of bed, BP is borderline at 115/80. But it’s actually higher than my average, 105/65. Pulse is ~10 lower than mid day. I’ll play around with it more once I find something to raise the angle of the bed to compare results.
@Only You
I didn’t take my health seriously when I was diagnosed with EDS ~10 yrs ago. Like a normal teenager, I thought nothing would happen until I was old (30!). I’m paying for that now, and have discovered that 23 is old, not 30 =D
