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."

falling off the wagon

I've totally dropped off the whole 'recording my diet and symptoms' thing. A lot has been going on with my health aside from POTS, so my stress has been high and my diet's been (relatively) poor. I know that I have to get back to it, and will. Tomorrow starts a new week, so I'll press on then.
