Hello August

So far, not a great POTS day.
I went out and ran errands this morning. First, it was okay. Then about an hour into it, the heat started to get to me and my stomach started to get upset. I was also really lightheaded and my feet started to get a lot of blood pooling in them. They started to get heavy and lose feeling and walking was iffy, so I decided to go home. Driving home was tough and I wonder if it's safe...
Either way, I went home, had lunch (something super salty) and put my legs up which is helping.

I've also called a few places and finally managed to find somewhere that will fit me for my compression stockings. I'm hoping to feel up to making it there tomorrow.
