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.”  

Yesterday was Toledo.  Today was Mishawaka.  Brad has been a trooper, driving me all over.  I’m not really sure what I was thinking when I scheduled these appointments back to back, but at least my appointments (besides PT) are done for the week.

Today I went for more prolotherapy.  If you recall from my last prolo visit,

If you have been following, you know I had my chance to cross off one of my goals for the year last week, which was to work out with the incredible Dr. Lavallee.   Back in January I had asked him at my yearly EDS check-up if he would ever be willing to work out with me.  He laughed a little, I think taken by surprise, and said, “But I don’t think you need to learn many of the exercises I do…I think you are doing well managing your EDS so far on your own. “

Recently I’ve had a few people ask questions about the doctors and therapists I currently see to keep my POTS and EDS manageable.  Whenever I type a list like this, I thank my lucky stars
