I’m paranoid that I have the ‘rona because of my symptoms. My throat has never been this dry. It’s like trying to swallow sand. 🥲 I keep drinking water. Wren is also unusually thirsty she said. I’ve also had a little dizziness and bad anxiety but those unfortunately are typical things for me. My doctor thinks that I might have POTS so… 🤷‍♀️😷

Looks like my Teepublic shop is on sale once again! Silly puns, original art, webcomic merch and more! You definitely deserve a sticker, at least. You know it. ✨

I don’t know if there is much more exciting for me as a #Potsie than having a perfect stand week! #POTS

I’m improving… every day… just a little bit. I’ve been fighting this for nearly three years now.

Sorry I have been so quiet lately. Things have been wild RL.

A couple of days ago, I was diagnosed with POTS. And suddenly a lot of my symptoms I have been having that prevent me from working finally make sense.

I had no idea... I have been to several doctors who just didnt know what to do. Ran many tests over the years for different things and nothing was really found. But then my doctor who I have been seeing the past few years has been really amazing and keeping track of my symptoms as they have worsened and she really cares and listens. We talked about POTS before, but something made her sure and she got me in to a tilt table test. I didnt expect much because most eveyrthing else turned up nothing. But they didnt even need to do the full test. As soon as they sat me up, my heart rate shot up and they were certain.

I still dont know how to feel. I feel relieved but also scared. But I hope I can finally start to take steps to feel and manage my symptoms better

Doing some finances (since unemployed and job hunting) today and calculated that the peak cost per day of my #POTS medication is $8.

$56 a week.

It's not the only medication that I take and it's a take as needed medicine so I can skip days/times where I have the space to deal with the symptoms. But ouch. I wish that was covered under the PBS. #Australia #potsie
