Tuesday May 26th

Well it’s been almost 2 months of living with POTS ( Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). I was hoping that all this would be a memory by now, but my symptoms are back. I have a high heart rate upon standing, a constant headache, shortness of breath, and near-constant chest discomfort. I was supposed to start work again today, but that did not happen. I feel so weak and tired all the time, there is no way that I can resume my job as a caretaker of patients when I, myself am a patient. I guess with my upcoming birthday and turning 30, I am a little depressed given my situation. Oh well tomorrow I meet with my doctor, who is probably going to add another drug. 

Throughout all this I am learning to appreciate each day and the small victories.
