Why I don't always post or talk about illness
**Please note this is not to be used as medical advice, Chronic Heart 2 Heart is a Podcast where people with complex, invisible diagnosis share their stories with the internet. It is simply a podcast of information sharing and caring**
This is a call to anyone in the community who has mental health diagnoses/chronic health conditions or who is considered to be disabled, if you or anyone you know would be interested in being interviewed for my UA-cam channel and sharing about your life with your diagnoses please message me I would love to have anyone wanting to participate in my new podcast Chronic Heart 2 Heart.
Posting new podcasts at least once a month for now due to the documentary filmmaking that is happening.
I aim to raise awareness for rare conditions and bring about hope for others living with chronic health conditions. I live with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hyperPOTS, and MCAS. I want to help others share their stories Rare and complex illness needs more awareness, and people living with complex health conditions matter too.

    I watched a couple of your videos and I totally relate to what you're going through. I'm only 35, I have POTS and foraminal stenosis in my neck so I'm pretty much always in pain. It's a really lonely life when you suffer from chronic conditions. Anyway, always happy to hear you rant.

I’m always happy to rant to about health stuff because sometimes it just builds up and then other times I just don’t wanna talk about it lol. I understand always being in pain but for different reasons given my connective tissue issues. I don’t want to say I’m happy that we can relate because illness sucks, but it’s nice to be understood and relatable even in a messed up way because of illness. I keep coming back to this channel and keep deciding I’m gonna keep at it so I’ll be here as long as I’m able to.

    You’re overthinking, When you have a creative mind and you don't do anything with it, it turns against you and you start creating problems, While a part of you says to yourself, “Actually, everything's fine”. Even if it's hard to hear it when you've got all that pollution in your mind and body, Try to find it anyway, You're stuck when you're in a kind of circle, But thinking about it means you're out of it, Nothing is really wrong with you or your situation, Nothing is bad, Everything is what it is, What's next? Get out of it, Put new energy into your body, Try something new, with yourself, Something you once said, “No, it's not for me”. Or something you're afraid to do,

    hello I have a hyperadrenergic pots and I suffer for four years. my nervous system is overexcited I breathe quickly I digest poorly and especially in a standing position my heart rises high , and walking ca gets worse. My blood pressure also rises in a standing position. I live in France and here the doctors do not know much about it however my orthostatic tachycardia and my tension are visual and the doctors recognize them . I tried a beta blocker (propanolol) but my body has very bad it my heart went down to 28 bpm. Since I refuse to take any beta blockers. A doctor found out how to calm my nervous system by prescribing me Paroxetine, which is a drug that is basic prevu for panic attacks but in my case it acts quite well on noradrenaline. Unfortunately there is still the problem of the pots and tension. I can’t walk for long because I always move around with my wheelchair in the present, as a safety net in case I am exhausted by walking. It’s psychologically very hard. As much as physically . And above all, this heart problem that is overflowing prevents me from working or doing some physical effort . I don’t know what to do with my time especially. I know that my autonomic nervous system is out of order so the pot is only a symptom. I try to drink lots of water. But what to do.... it’s sad ... good luck

Fast forward 20 years and now I have abnormal tilt table results and my lab work shows elevated norepinephrine and others. My primary care doc thinks EDS is likely (but not diagnosed) as well as Sjogrens (but not diagnosed). No focus where I am in WA (hard to believe they have all gone to cash only) so I am being sent to California. I feel so alone in all of this. I am also being sent for evaluation of a possible CSF Leak...the hits just keep coming.

I have symptoms of heart faliure, throat, and lungs cancer. Last year saw a cardiologist and he did blood and treadmill test and everything was fine, he told me clearly he has no idea why its happening. He gave me Ciplar La 40mg.

    Compression calf sleeves and saline infusions can help. The Alpha-2 agonists (Clonidine or Guanfacine) specifically target hyperadrenergic POTS by signaling the body to not dump so much norepinephrine and adrenaline into circulation. They've been wonderful for me. I have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome. I also have digestive motility issues, which have been eliminated by Mestinon (Pyridostigmine) - plus this medication can help a bit at mitigating POTS symptoms.
