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.

Congrats to the newest member of the Fulbright Alumni! 🌟 So sad Albana is leaving for Kosovo tomorrow, but stoked that I got to spend a year with such a good roomie, sister, and swolemate 💪. #fulbright #fulbrightalumni #fulbrightkosovo #fulbrightscholarship #roomies #nc

Cheers to hauling myself out of bed early to enjoy 75 degrees and celebrate how much PT had been paying off. #dysfit #summer #dysautonomia #PTfirst #physicaltherapy

You know you’ve got a good roommate when they get excited about matching to a fam dinner. <3 Albana <3 Also PSA: This girl left the house today! (Rebelling against the ☀️!!)

Carolina on my mind 🌻

7 out of 10 people will live with a chronic illness at some point in their life. Some are visible and some, like mine, are not. •• From looking at this picture you wouldn’t know I have POTS, IBS, chronic hives, or multiple food allergies. •• Help me put a face to chronic illness today for Chronic Disease Day! Post a picture, a drawing, or simply “I am 7 out of 10” to help spread awareness with me. 🙌🏻 •• Thanks to @climatedeadline for the picture and laughs ❤️ •• #chronicillness #invisibleillness #posturalorthostatictachycardiasyndrome #pots #dysautonomia #wegotdys #dysfit #mightytogether #ibs #mcas #dysfit #spoonie #spoonies #zebras #chronicdiseaseday @themightysite
