Me, having been diagnosed with POTS literal years ago: Woah…. I just got dizzy from standing? What does this mean….? Am I….. Dying……??
Well I have a cane now.
It’s like a. Wooden one. Like a basic one, like. A carved stick yknow. It’s pretty cool !!
Uh. I don’t know how I use it >_>
My parents seem to both think it’s dumb I even have one… My dad was askin why I need it, so I explained POTS to him and he was like. “Well how are you gonna work then????” AND LIKE! YEAH DUDE! THATS WHAT IM ASKIN MAN!
Anyways he gave me the cane, he had it on him but he doesn’t use it. Uh. I dropped it immediately and also feel awkward and embarrassed walking with it….. I dunnoooo.
It would be good to use one…. But like! People are gonna ask questions, and like. Ugh. I don’t wanna deal with the social aspect….
Heart rate after the shower was 150 todays…….
Hmmm. Thinking…..
Last time I had a pots flareup I was just starting to develop agoraphobia… I locked myself up inside and didn’t leave my house for soooooo long, and every time my parents would leave the house I would freak out and try to get them to stay because I didn’t wanna be alone >_> Pretty embarrassing actually, I felt like a little kid…..
Anyways, I’m now MEDICATED!!!! Which is great. Don’t gotta beg and cry when my parents leave anymore heck yeah
But it’s got me thinking about. Going outside more. Not just on the porch, I mean OUT.
If I really do stop going to church, I mean. That’ll be really freeing for me, but it’s also the ONLY place I ever go. Just because I’m struggling more with my health doesn’t mean I gotta be locked up ALL the time….
Maybe I’ll go for a little walk today? Maybe? Been meaning to for a while… I got some new walking shoes :D All I had before were heels and cowboy boots-
I will try to go outside I think. I really don’t wanna be trapped and alone all winter again
Daily heart rate check that is not daily: HOLLLLYYYYY SHITTTT I’ MM SHAKING
This is a safe space for all of your fainting stories
I have POTS, the main symptom of which is literally fainting, but SOMEHOW. By some ABSOLUTELY MIRACLE. I am yet to truly pass out. BUT I CAME VERY CLOSE ONCE but I’ve never actually done it…….
There was also one time when I was a kid before I developed POTS when I’d been out in a field all day and my vision went fully black from the heat but I was awake still so that didn’t count either
Pots flareup…….. Here we go again……………..
Period + Tooth Infection + POTS = Much pain
Random ii headcanon of the day: Pepper has POTS (aka she needs salt 🧂 :p )
Having POTS is so crazy, how am I supposed to be a hoe in the club when I can’t stand up for more than five minutes :(
