I am NOT cured, I repeat I AM NOT CURED 😭😭
Guys.. I was able to take a short walk and go up the stairs easier. I think I might be cured from chronic illness 🤭
I'm gonna faint from anxiety, but I DID IT!!! Made My First YouTube Video
From chronically offline to chronically ill
Just sending a message to say ‘hi’! And to say I totally get your frustration over “normal” lab results. All my labs have been normal and yet here I am, symptomatic! 🫠
Hello! Just because your lab results came back normal does NOT mean you are invalid and that there is nothing causing them.
I learned after going to the hospital yesterday (forgot I did that yesterday what fuck…) that I most definitely have POTS. I have slightly low sodium and heart palpitations. I have all the symptoms of it. When I treat my body like I have POTS it feels better
What I do to help:
The biggest fucking container of water CHUG IT
Salt, and I mean a lot
Compression socks are a gift from above
AND GET A TILT TEST DONE (I hope to do mine soon)
I did what I like to call a "digital detox" by limiting 90% of the apps I could use on my phone, especially social media. I do this because I find so much negativity in the community. Trust me when I say I know being chronically is hard. But there is no reason any of us need a 24/7 reminder of it.
I also find it difficult when I'm stuck at home for a good majority of my days, with no work, it's hard to keep myseld entertained all day. I end up relying on my phone and I get incredibly sad in the process.
As some of you may know if you watch my YouTube, I was off social media for 7 months. I found it beneficial. While I'm ready to be back on social media, I needed a break
So I only used my phone to film my journey, listened, to music, and text two people. My time spent on my phone was half of what it usually was (really just using the camera app.)
Would you be interested in me uploading to my YouTube channel my journey of a digital detox while living with a chronic illness? Should I do this more often? Would you consider doing this?
Say it with me! Wheelchairs aren’t sad! Mobility aids aren’t sad! Mobility aids are instruments of freedom!
Me but my body won't let me nap 。・゚・(ノД`)・゚・。

Can you believe I used to NEVER wear black? I only dressed in rainbows for 6 years. Then on day I decided to dress like this:
Growing up is crazy
