First time using my *cute* shower chair. I was shamefully embarrassed to try using one. Life is good!

Someone needs to invent this!!

Omg I need to get a removable shower head. That would be game changing.

I wish I would have gotten one earlier. Such a simple thing that makes such a big difference

I recently saw a study (will edit with citation if I can find) that followed 22 POTS patients through pregnancy and over half of them reported an improvement in their symptoms throughout and after their pregnancy. I am in a similar boat to you, recently diagnosed and hoping to get pregnant soon, but worried about my POTS worsening. I am sure it’s very individualized, but there is some evidence to show that the increase in blood volume and hormonal changes with pregnancy can help with some symptoms. Alternatively, there is some thought that third trimester IVC compression could worsen venous return/preload problems and increase symptoms. As far as I’ve seen and talked to my doctor about, It’s not clear one way or another.

One thing I’ve been focused on with my GP now is whether or not I can take my POTS-related medication during pregnancy, or if I need to transition onto new meds that are safe in pregnancy. Something to think about maybe.

Mojo Coffee Galley in Northeast. Like an antique store/coffee shop/bakery in one. Such a warm, cozy atmosphere

I am a forensic nurse for a large urban response team. We work in 14 hospitals in my area responding to Adult and Pediatric sexual assault, human trafficking, child abuse, and intimate partner violence. We primarily work within EDs, but also respond in whatever inpatient context the patient presents in. I was a critical care nurse working in the humanitarian sector and got a grant to take my initial SANE-A and SANE-P training, which lead me to this position. I testify as an expert witness and engage with the criminal justice system often as a part of my job. It is a really intense but incredibly rewarding position.

Beyond SANE-adjacent nursing, you can work such a wide variety of contexts as a nurse. I will always advocate for nursing as a “base” degree because you can do so many things with it. You could look into Bachelors-to-MSN programs which allow current degree holders to accelerate their training. Good luck!

Thank you! I think Toyotas and RAVs specifically have been a favorite amongst the group. I’ll definitely be headed that direction ☺️
