Hi.

My name is Katie and I have POTS and EDS.

They say the first step is acknowledgment.

Well, this week, I forgot that major minor detail.

I love pictures.  They can capture so many memories; so many emotions; so many moments in time.  I have learned that sometimes they tell the whole story and sometimes they leave much of the story out.  

My Father-In-Law always assures me that “everything will work out.”

So far, he has been right.

My future with teaching has been extremely stressful this summer.  

I have learned a thing or two since I was diagnosed in 2010.  I always have to preface these posts with the fact that I am speaking for myself, since EDS and POTS are such “spectrum diseases.”  

I spent the day at the University of Toledo to see the wonderful Dr. Bev for my 6 months POTS check-up.

We drove 2 hours.  Waited 2 hours.  Saw Bev for 25 minutes.  And drove home 2 hours.

Usually I see Bev or Dr. Grubb for over an hour,
