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."

glimmer of light?

After much searching last weekend, I finally had a small miracle happen!

I found a P.O.T.S. specialist right here in my hometown! What are the odds?!

She's done all kinds of research and clinical trials with POTS patients and knows a heck of a lot more than every other doctor in the area. I'll be seeing her on April 19th...so here's hoping she can give me some relief!
