What is POTS?

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a form of autonomic dysfunction. In other words, the part of your nervous system that controls all involuntary functions (breathing, digestion, heart rate, etc) has decided to rebel and you are now in a civil war with your body.

2018 >>>> 2017. This year was a massive step for the Heidi comeback journey. I got to attend two weddings, meet two nephews (one being Winston), get an amazing new roommate, be able to row, be able to live alone, be able to eat some sweets again, start a bookclub, start a blog, be able to laugh again without my heart flipping out, pass my EMT recertification, go to two concerts, teach my student life skills, vote, talk to my grandpa for the first time in years (cochlear implant), meet some amazing new friends, become a massive Attack on Titan fan, and listen to the same CD for an absurd amount of time in my car. Super stoked to see what 2019 brings. Happy New Years y’all!

Celebrating Poppop’s new cochlear implant!

Let winter break begin! Horizontal resting state activated. See? I’ve always been a fan of allowing gravity to do it’s job.

A stressful morning turned relaxing afternoon— passed my EMT recertification exam! Amazed and grateful for getting this far with POTS. :)

Sock gloves are the best gloves. I hate waking up early, but I’ll do a 7:30AM wakeup call for snow! #goobers
