Introduction
Um hi, not sure if introductions are done on tumblr! I haven't been on here since I was a teen. I live under a rock and didn't know this was unbanned on iPhone until awhile ago. Anyways, my name is Selena. I am a female. I think this blog will be mostly about my chronic illnesses/chronic pain and probably somewhere to express my mental health issues.
I have multiple autoimmune illnesses. Pretty much dysautonomia. I have POTS, IBS, and hashimoto's.
What are these conditions?
POTS: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition that causes your heart to beat faster than normal when you transition from sitting or lying down to standing up. It’s a type of orthostatic intolerance.
IBS: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the stomach and intestines, also called the gastrointestinal tract.
Hashimoto's: Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disorder that can cause hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid. Rarely, the disease can cause hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid.
