![]() ![]() ![]() But all I can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep at it when it feels hard. It has been an incredibly long journey, and after so much time fighting my own brain, I’ll admit I’ve lost a lot of my confidence when it comes to writing. It is only in the last 6-8 months that I’ve started to feel well enough to do more than take care of my own basic needs. There’s no cure, but there is treatment to help mitigate the worst of the symptoms. Basically my autonomic nervous system is out of whack, which causes a host of symptoms throughout the whole body- including intense fatigue, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, brain fog, temperature dysregulation, and more. And a lot of the symptoms I’d been unable to shake through my other treatments (and sometimes blamed on the treatments themselves) were in fact POTS. We believe I’ve actually had it since 2015 if not earlier. You might have heard of it because many people with Long Covid are being diagnosed with it as well. To make a long story short, I was diagnosed with yet another chronic illness called POTS. I know it has been AGES since many of you have heard from me. ![]()
