Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeto Technology@lemmy.world•Facebook Allegedly Detected When Teen Girls Deleted Selfies So It Could Serve Them Beauty AdsEnglish3·20 hours agoAnother reason I’ll never use Facebook. It’s been a hellsite for a long time
Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeOPto Ask Science@lemmy.world•How are there cases of people deliberately staying awake for so long they died? Wouldn't you just automatically pass out and sleep long before you got to that point?English4·20 hours agoIf these waste products are CNS depressants, wouldn’t they cause you to pass out and sleep (similar to how people often pass out and sleep a couple hours after taking an ambien, for instance. Ambien is also a CNS depressant) before death happens?
Sort of like how your body prevents you from dying from holding your own breath by forcing you to breathe again once passed out.
Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How is it possible that some people have deliberately stayed awake for so long they died? Doesn't the brain have a failsafe to force you to sleep before you die of sleep deprivation?English13·2 days agoYeah that’s what I don’t get. After 3 days you can barely think straight. I don’t know how the guy in China deliberately went 11 days without any sleep at all to watch a football game. It sounds similar to holding your breath until you die. He didn’t have fatal insomnia so I don’t get why he didn’t just automatically pass out before he died and slept.

Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeOPto Rant@lemmy.sdf.org•My brain fog makes me feel so stupid that I'm seriously considering trying speedEnglish1·21 days agoI’ve had so many blood tests done when they were trying to figure out what was wrong with me pre POTS/EDS/CFS diagnosis
Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeOPto Rant@lemmy.sdf.org•My brain fog makes me feel so stupid that I'm seriously considering trying speedEnglish3·21 days agoYou described it so well! That’s exactly how I feel. I understand how frustrating it is, especially when it happens in public because people make so many assumptions. Thanks for the kind words ❤️
Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeOPto Rant@lemmy.sdf.org•My brain fog makes me feel so stupid that I'm seriously considering trying speedEnglish5·22 days agoI have, but doctors don’t suspect it. I find my brain fog correlates to episodes of bad circulation/low blood volume, in that it gets worse whenever my blood volume or circulation is low/bad. How did they diagnose you with MCAS and is it easily treatable? Thanks
Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeOPto Rant@lemmy.sdf.org•My brain fog makes me feel so stupid that I'm seriously considering trying speedEnglish4·22 days agoIt really is. I’m aware of every mistake I’m making but it’s like trying to move my fingers rapidly when they’re too cold, I can’t stop it. Thanks for telling me about the ME community, I’ll check it out!
Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeto Chronic Illness@lemmy.world•Is there any way to get ableists to just google 'hypotension'?English1·22 days agoThat’s messed up. I can feel your frustrations and I have the same thing too. My heart stopped during a tilt table test and I’ve passed out several times just from standing. I have to do so much just to maintain a low normal blood pressure.
