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."

day 12
Breakfast: Ensure Plus (350c)
Lunch: -none-
Dinner: pasta, olives, dressing. (200c)
Snack: nutella on bread (200c)
Extra: almond hershey kisses, in an attempt to eradicate my migraine. miserable fail. also dr pepper (at a different time for the same reason-also a fail) (250c)
Exercise: done.
Total Calorie Count: 1000. yeah. i know.
Awesome Thing of the Day: the smell of rain. and the coolness right after a good down pour- two of my favorite things.
i've had a horribly miserable migraine for 5 days now. i've tried excedrin, motrin, caffeine, and everything else that might even remotely help. normally a motrin/dr pepper combo does the trick, no such luck. i'm really at my wits end about it because it upsets my ability to eat so greatly and there's nothing else i can try. the only comforting part is that it's not my fault. i'm still trying to do what i can.
