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."

CT Results and an Appendectomy

So...I got the call yesterday giving me the results of my CT scan.

It turns out, my appendix is still inflamed/ infected and has blocked itself off from my colon. It has to be removed.

I knew something was up when the surgeon himself called me. Plus, I've had a lingering discomfort ever since my hospital stay.

Surgery Date: Feb 4th
