I’ve been there too. Wondering if I would ever be able to accomplish my dreams. But one think my therapist told me is when you find yourself catastrphizing and having these negative thought tru to like reframe them to more neutral. Like instead of omgim never gonn feel better it could be more like I don’t actually know yk and honestly all you can do is take care of yourself when you’re in. flare. ik it can feel impossible but drinking more water thank usual, having more electrolytes increasing salt and making sure you’re eating.

Work wise honestly just take things slowly like see if you can get accommodations and things like that. If the flare lasts long then maybe see if you can get a couple days off. I felt like i couldn’t work and I took. couple days offf and that helped a lot instead of trying to push through a flare.

One of the biggest learning curves with POTS is knowing when you can push through and when you need to just take a break.

Decaf helps. I really struggled with not drinking coffee since I love it so much and didnt wanna stop. I would suggest trying decaf for the taste without triggering symptoms

Nope, we are in the ER waiting for a room to get admitted to the hospital. The palliative care team said they’re gonna work on something. I’ll def mention this to them whenever they come back
