bebatjof 🇵🇸It's a lot
(1) Got diagnosed with POTS today.
Post orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.
Not super surprising, but still.
(2) Got diagnosed with SIBO today.
Small intestine bacterial overgrowth.
I didn't know this disease specifically but it's not a surprise that my gut health is bad.
For POTS I got the regular advice: drinking 3 liters of water per day, salt at 7-9 grams per day, compression socks.
For SIBO I need to go on an extremely strict diet for one month (low fodmap), then one month of reintroduction. At the same time antibiotics, then supplements.
No nerve damage.
No diabetes or pre-diabetes.
Liver scan planned.
Ultrasound of carotids planned (neck arteries).
B12 deficiency to be supplemented.
Auto-immune signs in blood test.
Chronic inflammation confirmed officially.

This is the first time I actually got medical confirmation that something's wrong.
Which is good news, in a way.
The bad news is that it's a whole list and I need a notebook to remember everything.
