I was recently diagnosed with POTS after years of symptoms and my doctor said I need to get compression socks but the seam at the toe is something I absolutely cannot stand, due to sensory issues. I was wondering if I could wear ankle socks under the compression socks so I don’t have to feel the seam or are there any brand recommendations where the toe seam isn’t as noticeable?

Ok I may have used the wrong flair, but I’m wondering if anyone else that hasn’t bitten their nails, ever still puts them in their mouth and just kinda taps the nail with their teeth? Like I haven’t actually bitten my nails in almost a year, but I still put them in my mouth without realizing.

I finally talked to my doctor about my stomach issues and I’m being evaluated for other things, but IBS is the most likely cause. My doctor gave me a list of all the foods and drinks that are ok and what to avoid eating and so many of my favorite things are in the list of things to avoid consuming like garlic, onions, mangoes, watermelon, pickles, honey, salsa, apples, asparagus, mushrooms, and ice cream. I actually tried some lactose free ice cream today because lactose free dairy was on the list of things that would be ok, but never again, I was fighting for my life on the toilet for nearly 2 hours. I just need advice on how you guys dealt with not eating foods you really enjoy? I love the food, but I know the food does not love me.
