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

Whoa! March already? How did that happen?!

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • 1 day of PT.  We worked a lot on my hip.
  • While my hip is experiencing this flare, I am looking for a recumbent bike, since it would provide me with the ability to do the cardio I need to fight POTS, without putting much stress on my hip.  Anyone know of one they would recommend?  Or better yet, anyone looking to get rid of one?

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of Home Rehab :/
  • 1 Session of Physical Therapy.   We focused on my hip and my extremely tight IT bands.  My therapist wants me to come twice a week (instead of once) until my hip pain/instability calms down.
  • I had an OMM appointment on Thursday.  My tailbone and sacrum were twisted so my doc concentrated on getting those back in place.  She also did some cranio work.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 2 days of Home Rehab.
  • 1 Day of Physical Therapy.  I had my first day back after two months off.  Basically this appointment was focused on setting goals.  One goal that my PT and I made together is to be able to stand in place for a longer amount of time.  Standing in place for more than a couple minutes is one of the hardest things for me to do.
  • I had quite the POTSy week.  Maybe I am trying to do too much?  That’s what my body seems to be telling me.
