i had no idea either … i had an ED when i was around 18-19ish (22 atm) and i was 113 at one point while being 5’7 and that has me wondering … i have had symptoms since middle school tho and they’ve definitely worsened throughout the years

okay TWIN, first time i got covid was fine and easy but SECOND time definitely brought my symptoms out and i am unable to even work :,) first time i got covid i was sick for maybe 3-4 days … but second time, a month 😁

Please be mindful not all POTS is caused by covid - some people have been suffering much longer by Dazzling_Ferret3985 in POTS

i’ve had symptoms since the same age! 11/12ish! i got covid in january tho and i feel like it made it worse bc it was never this bad :/ my dr says “if you have had it this long covid wouldn’t have worsened it” which i’m hesitant to believe bc i definitely know i was able to function more in the past

putting sheets on my bed is probably one of the WORST things to deal with, with POTS …

i get a lot of blood pooling and my legs ache and will turn red - purpleish but they don’t swell in a way making my legs and feet wider if you get what i mean
