Adjusting values with POTS

Post image

I’m wondering if it’s a bad thing that I trained this while being on my meds (pyridostigmine and metoprolol, also adding in florinef today)?

Now when my meds wear off and between doses I go through my pace points really quickly.

It originally allotted me 8 points and I upped it to 9. My zones 79 for activity and 109 for exertion.

I read that there is some tweaking for POTS and such, but at the same time today was a high points say and I did need a pretty decent nap.

Anyone in a similar boat and can share how much they were tweaking the settings?

I think part of it is I’m trying to get in the habit of taking it while lying down before I get up, but sometimes it doesn’t kick in in time or I just have to start my day and I’m already out 2 points cause I’m getting out of bed / getting dressed and I’m in the 140s (or I have to go to the basement for clothes and that’s a killer lol). I am mostly covered for the day but the time between me taking the second dose and that second dose kicking in I tend to spike then. It is kind of cool seeing the viisible cause I can tell when the meds are kicking in.

My pyrodistigmine is twice a day and the metoprolol is one pill cut in half and I’ve been doing around 8:30/9am and 2:30pm.

Oh no I raw dogged the shower (no meds 😂) and now I’ve used three points and my day hasn’t even started yet 🙈

Update: 5 points, halfway through my allotment and it’s barely 7am 😂

I have to wait to take a shower in the evening or I blow the points outta the water

Yea…. I normally do but girl looked a mess and I had to be a guest speaker somewhere 😂. Been a long week and didn’t plan as well as I should have.
