Five For Friday 5/3/13

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

Happy May…which means Happy Ehlers-Danlos and Vasculitis Awareness Months!

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • I traveled to Toledo, OH on Monday to see one of my POTS specialists, Dr. Bev.  More about that soon.
  • I traveled to Mishawaka, IN on Thursday for prolotherapy injections. More to come on that too.
  • 3 Days of Home Rehab.

Q & A: My Current Exercise Regimen

Written by Katie. Posted in About Me, Ehlers-Danlos Awareness, Physical Therapy, POTS Awareness, Questions

I recently received an email from a Mom whose daughter has just been diagnosed with EDS and POTS.  She had questions about my exercise routine with POTS and EDS.  It made me think about how I have really neglected this blog the last few months.  I am honestly having trouble finding the time and the energy to keep everything updated, but I am going to try and do better.  I feel it’s important; especially for awareness and documentation sake.  When I think back to why I started this blog in the first place, one of the reasons was to document my journey for learning to live with EDS and POTS.  When I was really sick, I remember looking all over the Internet for blogs that did the same. I found such comfort in reading about other people’s stories that were so similar to mine.

I’ve never missed a Five For Friday.  Due to the fact that I admittedly have issues, I have to post last week’s for my own peace of mind so at least it’s documented.  Otherwise, I may lose sleep.  I know, I know…Issues, I tell you.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of Physical Therapy.  Lots on the Reformer!
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • 1 OMM Appointment for cranial-sacral therapy and an OA release on my neck.

Overwhelmed
