My sister, @shebaisqueen gave me a temporary tattoo yesterday. She came up with the words and design. I guess I am Potsie Strong. And you know what? That's a lot stronger than people think. #spoonie #potsie #chronicillness #chronicpain #POTS #POTSIESTRONG

SHIT SUCKS

dysautonomia and POTS is fucking annoying. since october i’ve been feeling sick all the time and lightheaded and my resting heart rate was at 170 every morning. every cardiologist was like SHES LITERALLY FINE JUST DRINK MORE WATER. finally about two weeks ago the doctors had an “oh shit” moment and realized what it was. i haven’t gone to school in two weeks cause i’m on this weird homebound schooling medical leave which is wack. but hEy at least we know what it is now am i right ladies 👉🏻😎👉🏻

Lips are still white but that TTT was pure hell. The moment the tilted me up i started crying over how dizzy I was, how nauseous I was, and how I wanted to pass out. I cried for the entire 40 minutes but I made it, and I have a definitive diagnoses of POTS. I had the two nicest nurses helping me, talking to me but also hoping I would pass out. But I didn't. But it's so nice to know I have answers. #pots #potsie #potsiestrong #potsiegirl #dysautonomia #dysautonomiaawarenessmonth #butyoudontlooksick #chronicillness #type1diabetes #invisibleillness #hospitals #naptime #tilttabletest #chronicallyfabulous (at Thomas Jefferson Hospital Gibbons Building)
