1.  Medical Stuff:

• This was a very quiet week for me medically.  I loved it.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 Day of PT.  It was the PT student’s last day (who I have worked with for the past month), so I spent a while talking with her.

I have received many emails and Facebook messages lately asking me essentially the same questions:

“How do you pace yourself?”  “How can you exercise with POTS?”  “How are you able to work?” “What helps you the most to manage your POTS and EDS?”

1. The hidden illness(es) I live with are:

• Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type II
• Dysautonomia-Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

I just realized that I never updated about my echo results.  After a week and a half of waiting, the report was finally located.  

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.”
