the whole 'not enough blood' thing threw me for a loop tbh...then I remembered how long it took to actually GET the blood for a simple blood sugar stick today. It should not have been that difficult ^_^;

Yes, and it is absolutely not normal. It may or may not have to do with your bathroom habits (I can't find research that agrees one way or the other). It sounds like the way my interstitial cystitis presents. If any of this hurts at all, call your doctor. Trust me on this one.

It's because of the sheer volume of salt we just sorta dump. I don't know for certain what's causing my epic thirst, but I do know that if I don't start supplementing with added electrolyte minerals in my drink (I have a specific lemonade blend that I drink to help with cystitis pain) I'm bound...

Please explain what ORS is to a dumdum elf. You mentioned POTS, so I probably need to know 😅

It's the trip and the wait that gets you. That's why the protection. The full bladder helps the ultrasound "see" the uterine area, but you gotta survive the trip and the wait. Once you start the exam you're naked from waist down.

The... the bottoms come off. Unless you undress in front of them or get careless with putting your clothes down they ain't seeing.

Been there a few times. I can't do it either but I wore to the appointment just in case. Wear a good pull up in case of leaks. The technicians have seen it all and don't care! :) If they didn't comment on my snap-on, they're not gonna comment on a pull-up, especially knowing how hard this test is.

I say "NO EXERTION TODAY" like I don't have laundry afflicted wity cystitis pee to deal with Thank the gods for The Concoction.

Exactly. I know plenty of other autistic folx who aren't into nappies. It's not the connecting factor.

That absolutely counts as sensory issues. Minus the military you're describing my autism. The "please hug my soul back into my body" is an autistic thing. The need to stim (with kinetic sand in your case) has nothing to do with emotional maturity, FYI I have hyperacusis, so my hearing is over...

Everything that you brought up https://tenor.com/bgnTH.gif Like, that is ABSOLUTELY sus. That on top of how this was asked is absolutely giving bully.
