My apartment complex is now using an AI AGENT ...i can never get in touch with a real team member

Yesterday one of our fire alarms started beeping at 11pm. Issue is said alarm is located at the peak of pur vaulted ceiling. There is no way to reach it, or silence it or change the battery. We barely slept last night. It beeps every 37.5 seconds...literally ive timed it

Maintenance didnt change it today, and i can't get a hold of anyone to explain why I cant just "change" the battery. Fire dept wont come to help because it had to be site maintenance. And any attempt to contact the office (phone, text, email) i get responses from the AI "agent".

I have a 2.5 yr old who flinches/gasps every time it beeps.

Every beep draws me closer to a fictional homicide lol

In Season 4 Ep 13 Freedom Flight

Charles and Dr B are taking the wagon to transport the Indian Family to meet thier family north (escaping McGregor and the other hooligans and true savages)

But as they are "racing" along in the wagon, you can see an extra set of hands with a modern watch shaking/rocking the wagon in the bottom right corner

Haha just thought it was funny, ive seen a few continuity errors over the seasons 🤣

Ok seriously Mary...she was a jerk to Patrick. Completely ditched him, literally acted like he was a loser, ditched him again for 40yr old Creep McCreeperson

And then acted all offended when he was a jerk and switched back to Patrick who deserved better. Just such a weird episode and out of character imo

Anyone know of any? Had no idea The Landing only did them on the 3rd?

Drank a new starbucks drink yesterday that had spirulina in it. I was nauseous all day and most of today. Had a headache, gastric dumping etc. Today my kid asked for donuts from our local shop, which i seemingly hadn't han an issue with before...but in hindsight.

Anyway only ate maybe 1/2 a donut and went to target where I proceeded to sweat perfusley, feel like I was going to pass out, tachycardia, and near shiz my pants before I could get to the bathroom. Honestly didnt out 2:2 together until I ate another 1/4of the donut at lunch and have felt like absolute shiz since. Tachycardia, headache, on/off nausea etc

Help

Also i have POTS (pretty pos. HYPERANDRO) And pcos/pmos both of which make it more likely I also have MCAS, but cant see a specialist until mid sept in a city 4 hrs away.

Mine is adrenaline dump, tachycardia, numbness in legs, and then hyperawareness of my body so every "feeling" feels wrong and thus is exacerbated by the anxiety/adrenaline and causes additional dumps.

Dizziness, blood pressure changes from the stress, crying etc

Migraines, anemia, dizziness, numbness,tachycardia pots, adrenaline dumps, anxiety, irritability etc

Im tired of being in pain, tired of going 0 to 100, tired of cervogenic headaches etc

Can someone just pity me for a moment lol honestly feel like a child needing my mom to hug me and tell me it'll be ok.

Anyone else get these? Its like my neck is strained from balancing my own head.

I need a 0 gravity head support

Help me

Onset symptoms in 2022

Taken 4 yrs to get diagnosed. But now I feel like i

"Said the right things" or decieved my cardiologist haha

Like I was 99.9% sure I had pots going into my appointment, he explained that I was/had been gaslit since onset as Dr's brushed it off as anxiety.

But now im left with this little feeling that I somehow convinced dr I had pots and I really dont haha

I think because there was no formal "testing" and he went primarily by symptom log and in office autonomic testing.

Have days like today where I would consider it a fairly decent day, some dizziness, some fast heart rate etc

But usually in the evenings/night I'll have these moments of "panic"

Like my brain thinks my eye sight is off, or my throat feels weird, or my extra heartbeat happens, and its like an immediate adrenaline dump, but if I can catch it, I can help rationalize that im fine.

But its these immediate panic feelings.

I was JUST formally dx with POTS yesterday but no subtype but 99% sure its HyperA pots.

Also considering some of this might be MCAS giving the timing and its close ties to pcos and pots.

Been dealing with some major health issues since 2022, and had a bit of a break from them during pregnancy. About 18mo after the issues came back with vengeance.

About 2 months ago now, i had to start sleeping with a light on in the livingroom to feel safe when I sleep. Ive not needed a "nightlight" since I was a child.. if that.

But my illnesses cause severe heightened anxiety, I have episodes of tachycardia, anxiety, dizziness, blood pressure changes etc and the last major episode happened while I was asleep and I woke up to feeling like I was dying. Now every night, I stay up later and later because im afraid to go to sleep. Afraid ill die in my sleep and leave my 2.5 yr old alone.

If you cant tell im in the midst of an anxiety attack and struggling to come out of it. But honestly think one of my meds has been triggering these anxiety/depression episodes

I can breathe fine, but my throat feels swollen, like im suddenly very aware of the back of my tongue throat.

I've never had an anaphalatic reaction, or at least not one that made me feel like I couldn't breathe.

My anxiety is way up at the moment, and im terrified im having a bad reaction with a new severe symptom.

Im shaking a bit and keep yawning (my body trying to "come down" from the adrenaline/fear)

Im unofficially dx, in dx process, but cant see the allergist/immunologist until sept. Was officially dx POTS today.

After 4 years

Met with my new cardiologist today and he confirmed my suspicious of POTS.

He ACTUALLY LISTENED. He heard me. He reassured me and even agreed that id been medically gaslit for the last 4 years. That it wasn't in my head. That my pcos/pmos is directly tied to my symptom intensity.

Dr. SONNY changed my life today, I went into this appt rambling off all the usual stuff trying to impress the life ive lived these last 4 years is not normal and something is wrong and it comes out as word vomit.

He stopped me and was like " let me guide you" and he did.

All this to say, dont give up guys. Someone will listen eventually.

Finally seeing a cardiologist for the first time since 2022 (symptom onset)

Any words of advice of what to bring up

How to best articulate my issues/concerns?

I find once im in appointments I'm so flustered and just dont articulate myself well enough, that i end up being g dismissed or placated.

The past few months my emotional state has really shifted, ive dealt with anxiety/depression since childhood. But this is different

These "depression" periods are DARK, doomy and feel literally scary, like my brain/self is being hijacked and evil is filling its space. (Sounds crazy I know)

These "episodes" can last a few hours, few minutes or at time "flicker" in and out of my days for a good week.

My irrationality and irritability has never been as bad as the past 4 years since onset, it especially picked up after I had my son... i hammed it up to new motherhood, but its not changed (2.5 yrs later) the rage i feel so quickly is unsettling and unhinged. It makes me hate myself. Makes me feel like a bad mom.

This past week or two, I have had crying spells every mid morning, about 2 hrs after "breakfast". Crying spells usually accompanied by increased anxiety or depression, heart palpitations, exhaustion etc

Usually passes in an hr or two, by the afternoon Im feeling tired but emotionally more stable, by bedtime im fine but the anxiety/fear ill have an episode in my sleep kicks in (because I usually see a spike in my episodes around bedtime or about an hr after I fall asleep

Apartment Neighbor has a puppy, about 6 to 8mo old now

They let it cry, scream, howl in its crate for HOURS a day..HOURS. He has been crying for the last 5 to 6 hrs at this point today. I have had to message the wife about a week or 2 ago for the same issue. But not because they arent home. They are.

Our walls are paper thin and aside from feeling awful for the pup and not being able to help..its mildly infuriating to listen to an animal in distress fully knowing thier owner is in the home with them. She always has an excuse

"Oh he was mad I was showering and 'somehow' got trapped in his kennel' ...you were showering for the last 4hrs?

" oh his kennel is stuck in the bathroom behind the door, and I cant get the door open" (today's reason)

Its currently 6:15p and hes been crying since about 12 noon.

I offered to come help get him free, suggested she call the fire dept. Her response was

"Ugh I was hoping he'd manage to free his kennel "

Its been another 1hr+ and ...hes still crying.

Their van is here so they are home.

What do I do ?

They are neighbors so I dont really want "bad blood" but I cannot tune it out. I can hear him over my TV, I work from home, my office shares a wall with thier apartment. And i cant help but be infuriated that they think its acceptable to leave him locked in a backroom for this long...means he has eaten, drank, been able to relieve himself etc.

Aside from this I RARELY see this pup outside. Not even weekly..let alone daily for any sort of walk/potty run etc.

Theyre reasonably nice people but this is just too much.

So have PMOS Adenomyosis and likely endo

My periods are upwards of 45days long 7- 14 of which are "heavy, clotting" type days

I have had a blood clot (dvt) and so that eliminates MOST BC options. The only ones being offered are progesterone versions. Im already dealing with chronic irritability and pmdd and terrified the mood swings will make be full on psychotic. My only other option is uterine ablation, which im honestly terrified of any surgery/being sedated.

Idk what to do

Could also do nothing but dealing with chronic anemia and fatigue

So im fat. Lol

After I got covid I had an onset of symptom/episodes

After months of assessments and testing they told me the episodes were anxiety, put me on a anxiety med. In the next 6mo I gained 25lb. Then I got pregnant and between pregnancy, pcos and a med change my body packed on another 75 lbs.

During pregnancy I seemed to be in "remission" without any major flares or episodes. But the episodes returned around the time my son turned 12mo-18mo old and have increased in intensity in the last 18 months.

The last few months , ive noticed ive been short of breath constantly. Just sitting on the couch, walking to the restroom, while eating meals.

In the past air hunger was definitely a key factor in my major episodes but I dont recall the breathlessness to be chronic throughout the day kind.

Am i just really fat haha or is this a MCAS situation?

[Not formally dx at the moment, working on finding an immunologist near us, the allergist i was refered to doesnt assess for mcas.]

I am highly sensitive to most meds

I've been dealing with some chronic disorders that have greatly affecting my base level of anxiety, especially following an episode.

​

Im.leabing towards going back on an anxiety med, but terrified to gain even more weight than my last go. (Put on 20lbs effexor, then got pregnant and was taking citilopram and celexa and packed on another 75, haven't lost any of the weight).

​

So desperate to try a med thats weight neutral and will help tame my anxiety

​

(Not asking medical advice, just personal experiences for meds that worked for you as an individual)
