Anyone else in physical discomfort 24/7?

@sb4, I’m sorry those helpful things wore off.

Obviously it’s an unknown in you personally, but how long do the effects of an SGB tend to last?

Edited to add: I just stumbled upon someone mentioning that it improves cerebral blood flow. Maybe I should try one. I’d have to go private too. There is a decidedly iffy expensive functional medicine place in Melbourne that probably hands them out. I have contemplated going there in the past. (Not that I think SGBs are iffy, rather that the doctors there prescribe a mix of pseudoscience and actual treatments in a random manner – or shall we say a profitable manner.)

@kushami The effects of SGB vary. It can last a couple hrs to months. Sometimes it can be permeant if it "breaks the loop". Could also not work at all.

For me it could be somewhat diagnosis even if its not lasting. If I feel so much better I will know what I should be treating. If I feel much better sitting down but have higher heart rate on standing that would be useful to know also, its a compensation mechanism.

I am actually hoping my bodies in some sort of sympathetic loop. Like my POTS is caused by immune dysfunction, my body responds with increased adrenaline which worsens immune dysfunction and POTS. If I break the loop it just rewires to a new baseline. Thats the hope, though very unlikely.
