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."

Awareness Week

After searching the internet over and over, I've found that while there's an "Invisible Illness Awareness Week, there is no POTS Awareness week.

So, I'm instituting one and here it is:

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Awareness Week:
December 11th-18th!
