I got permission to post this from my friend, Steph, who is a medical student at the University of Toledo.  She also has POTS, and most likely EDS.

Steph had reposted the article, “It’s Dysautonomia, Not Laziness” on her Facebook page after reading it on this site.  Well, some dude probably not thinking, and trying to be funny commented by saying something to the effect that it’s just lazy people, with excuses.

“It’s Dysautonomia, Not Laziness.”

Great article, great info, great reminders.

Especially since I have been struggling this week with good ol’ Dysautonomia. 

Very, very well said.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I saw Larry in the office on Monday.  We talked more about my physical therapy plan (most likely I will be trying out an every other week schedule to see how I do after Christmas break).  He also put 4 of my ribs back in place and manipulated my OA bone that was rotated.
• Today, I had my 9th prolotherapy treatment.  It has been a rough one, but I should hopefully be back on my feet tomorrow.
• This week marked my one year anniversary for my POTS and EDS diagnoses.  Hard to believe.
