    Hate a flare day.... you want to be productive but your body just won’t let you. Best thing is to do what your body wants to and you recover faster.

    I just found your channel, but I have fibromyalgia,ms, thyroid issues, fatigue, and more. Eating is hard since I don't get hungry. I am a caregiver for my finance. Mark has congestive heart failure. I've been sick since I was 23. I'm 50 now. It's not easy.

Great to see you have good friends in your videos who support you. Excellent. With CFS we don't swim upstream we go with the flow. Cheers and take care 😎👍

    I stay at the flare up but not as bad as hers is if I take my medication right, I may have 2-6 good hrs but then I’m so exhausted it takes 3-4 days to get back to where I can go to the bathroom but I have to always be in a Transport chair or wheelchair, I was using a standup Walker but within 10 minutes I would start Blacking out or be so weak My Husband had to help me get back in bed or sit down real fast, having POTS has totally changed my life, I’m in bed most all days because of being so exhausted

    Thank you for sharing a flare day with us, I know it is not easy filming when you are poorly.
    I know it is not related to this video (well it is kind of), but I wanted to ask if you can have a pacemaker for your SVT or are you too sick with your EDS to have it done?
    My SVT was in one place so I had it fixed but I know you said yours is more complicated.
    I know it’s not a fix as you have PoTS too and EDS and CVS. My PoTS is still there and I have mild CVS symptoms but not like I did when I was a child.
    I also have moderate ME. I’m looking for work that will make accommodations but it is not simple especially since covid made it difficult for everyone to work.
    Lots of love hun 💜you really inspire me to carry on. You have so much to deal with and you do it with such strength.

    I hope things aren't doing too bad! 😢
    May I ask you on what medications you are/were and if you have some kind of therapy for your disease?
    If so, are they working a bit?
    Are there actually some strategies to overcome some of these symphtoms?

    Do you ever find that when your POTS acts up it’s difficult to pass stool? My rate goes up to 180-190 when the episode is really bad even on beta blockers
    It’s difficult to explain to people

      It varies, with POTS flare ups, sometimes I can go on my phone, other times I can’t do anything at all & I occasionally end up in Resus in hospital. In a CVS flare up, I can’t speak, move, use my phone or watch a movie.

      Hi! My doctors couldn’t figure it out for over 3 years & they even missed several red flags, like the fact my resting (lying down) heart rate was 125-130 on all of my ECGs. I then went back to my doctors after being sick for 3 years & asked if I could be tested for pots. In that appointment, the doctor did some simple tests using a pulse oximeter & I was referred to cardiology (I got given an urgent referral due to some other stuff that was missed on my past ECGs). So for me, it took about 3.5 years, but I was only diagnosed so quickly because I noticed the signs myself & asked to be tested
