POTS: What can help?
Dr Jane McKay discusses fluids, salt, compression and medication. Heat can worsen symptoms, so compression needs may vary by season.

I'd make so much money if I wasn't nerfed by the universe. #disabled #disabilityrights #chronicillness #spoonie #degenerativediscdisease #vasovagalsyncope #dysautonomia
What an incredibly busy rollercoaster of a week 😮
And yet I seem 🤞 to have Paced it well...
Time will tell.

#Dysautonomia #POTS
Midday Tuesday. Under half of today's 'Moderate' movement budget used, despite two treadmill sessions.
Resisting the urge to start preparing for Ofsted tomorrow; as soon as I switch-on to the Inspection there'll be no coming out again 🙏
My #Dysautonomia is under control.
Just venting here. Losing both my food assistance and my health insurance. My husband is the only one who works. He makes 16 an hour. I get commissions, but I don't make much from them. I have #dysautonomia and can't work a normal job. This is insane. #mutualaid #foodassistance #healthcareforall
Do you live with Dysautonomia?
What do you want people to know about living with it?

What if hypermobility is part of the Long COVID puzzle?
Research is finding links between hypermobility, hEDS, dysautonomia and Long COVID.
Maybe COVID doesn’t create every vulnerability,it exposes some of them.
Day 1 of midodrine. Nonstop waves of goosebumps on my head and arms, and I feel the slightest tension headache. But also my head feels clear for the first time in months. #dysautonomia

I’d really like a chance at life.
I need a stable, safe environment. Without it, I will continue to decline & die.

So basically, fuck #dysautonomia and the horse it rode in on!
I'm sorry you are going through so much. 😑
☁️ Dysautonomia Awareness Month! ☁️
PoTS can look different for everyone. For example, I don't faint but I frequently experience presyncope. It can take years to get diagnosed, and many don't even know PoTS exists.
One of the most frustrating parts of #dysautonomia is that when my body gets triggered into a fight or flight response, it takes hours or even days before my body adjusts back to “normal“.
And for obvious reasons, my anxiety has been through the roof lately, so every time I have a panic attack…. 🙄
Dysautonomia can occur in people with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) & hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD). Most research on #dysautonomia in #EDS & #HSD has focused on #hypermobileEDS (hEDS) and HSD. Dysautonomia has also been reported in people with other types of EDS, including #cEDS & #vEDS.
