After being sick for so long, I finally have a name for my illness: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, otherwise known as P.O.T.S.

A cardiac condition that's stripped me of my health, weight (causing me to drop to anorexic weight), self confidence, friends, jobs and continuing my education.

My goals are simple: gain weight, be healthier, and get out more. Basically, get my life back!

I'm also hoping to spread some awareness on this little known condition, and to highlight the struggles of the underweight and people with "invisible illnesses."

change of pace

I had an idea today to use this as more-or-less a journal (which is basically is) to record how I do on a day-to-day basis with the drug trial(s) I'm starting. I have to be on Florinef for a month, and then go back to the doctor- by that time, I probably won't remember what things were really like over the course of the month- so why not write it down? Worth a shot at least lol
