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."

Small Blip

It turns out that my potassium level was actually low instead of high.

Which, generally, is better. It's always easier to add more of something than to take it away.

So, for the next few days I have to take a potassium supplement, and then I'll get my blood retested the day of my (I hope) surgery and they'll make the call then.
