Hi, I'm getting a tilt table test next month. I am feeling desperate for some relief, so I was thinking about doing some of the lifestyle changes recommended for POTS, like increasing salt, water, and compression. But I don't want to potentially cause a false negative on the test by improving, if that makes sense. Am I just bent paranoid?
I've attended my local unprogrammed Quaker meeting off and on for about nine years now, after leaving mormonism. For many years I had no desire to join any religion, but lately I have been feeling differently. I want to be more serious about joining my meeting. I know I should talk to the clerk, but I was wondering about general advice, if you have any reading you consider to be essential before joining a meeting, etc? I am working full time and in school full time, so my attendance will not be 100%, but I'd like to be progressing.
I am non theistic and greatly moved by Jesus, but not a Christian. I don't anticipate either of those being a problem in my meeting, but wanted to add for context.
This is probably overthinking, but I'd like some etiquette advice. About two years ago I bought an adult collie from a breeder in a nearby state. Before buying the dog I filled out an application and had a phone interview. I keep loosely in touch with the breeder, sending her a few updates about things like my dog's health after her spay and occasionally a few pictures. We've been seriously considering buying a puppy, and I checked her website and it says she's planning on having a litter in the late summer and that inquiries are welcome. Long wait lists are unusual in the breed, so odds are low that all of the puppies are already spoken for. I'd like some basic information like parentage, health testing, and coat variety before committing to a puppy. Is it fine to just text her and ask for that information? Should I fill out a new application on her website? Thanks!
