Summer brings its own challenges, but I refuse to let a diagnosis define my life.
I've been diagnosed with Orthostatic Hypotension and have also heard POTS mentioned along the way. At this point, I'm not sure the exact label matters as much as the reality of living with it. Most days, I don't feel great. Salt, hydration, putting my feet up, and taking breaks help me get through.
But I refuse to hide in the air conditioning all summer!
I want to explore, make memories, watch sunsets, go camping & take road trips!
So if you see me carrying fans, ice packs, a salt shaker and electrolytes, I have not lost my mind! Im adapting!
