- My number one tip: KEEP GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE
I don’t care what it is you do: a car ride, a trip to a park, a restaurant, a short walk or wheel chair going just a block and back. Just do not stay in the house
If you have more severe POTS symptoms, going anywhere can become very negative, very quick. And I wish I could tell my past self to push through it, no matter how horrible I feel even if it's just ten minutes every couple of days. Because it has just created another big hurdle for me to overcome. My brain got used to having the same stimuli every single day and that decreased it’s ability to quickly adapt to new stimuli. Making reintegrating back into the world that much harder, as my brain has to learn how to sort everything again.
Another tip: YOU CAN BE HAPPY, WHILE FEELING HORRIBLE
Don’t push happiness away, it only makes everything worse. Crack a smile, laugh when things are funny. When you feel it, FEEL IT!

Hi there! I came across your channel while researching POTs stories. I also have experiences with POTs (long Covid version, for almost a year now). While it's gotten a lot better thankfully, I understand how horrible the symptoms can be as well as dealing with the ups and downs. I appreciate you sharing your reflections! I think they resonate with many of us out there. I hope you get many more moments of joy and happiness in the near future 🙂
Thank you so much!
Good video. Helps me understand the illness. My wife has weird sysmptoms after covid infection. 17 months no diagnosis yet.....
Be gentle with her and don’t stop looking for answers. It’s really hard mentally and physically, but it can improve!
@@jenniscollection good point... Just got to get to Dr maybe 🤔
