I saw someone say that the average non-chronically I'll person would have to stay awake for 3 days straight to feel the fatigue a person with POTS feels every day

There is a lot we don't know about POTS, but its relationship with Long COVID and other conditions like EDS is starting to connect some dots.

In my mind pots is just an allergy to life at this point. Gravity= bad, heat= bad, cold=bad, sitting= bad and standing= bad also. Theres always something making the pots symptoms worse and theres no winningz

eating is so tiring to me and people don't get it. it's bad enough that I'll skip meals bc I don't want to be wiped out from eating. which is also really bad!

Debating if it's gonna be worth making food because the dishes, heat from the stove, and having to constantly move around might make me more fatigued than I already am has led to me losing so much weight 😭

Got diagonsed with POTs when I was 13, like in 2003. I feel like I’ve learned so much more about it now in 2025 lol

I genuinely think I have POTS. I'm chronically tired, heart palpitations, i have to nap everyday, when I stand to quickly my eyes go dark and I have to stabilize myself, and heat sensitive. how do you go about getting diagnosed?

Like just because you don’t understand, doesn’t mean you can’t be empathetic. Like goddamn do you really think we wanna live our life in bed?

I think it's easier to tell people that my symptoms are because of my zodiac sign than my diagnosed medical condition lol

It’s not that they don’t understand, they don’t care and expect you to still do the things they do even though their tired.

I had a coworker that said she looked up things to do and said I could do light workouts and blah blah blah and I said try doing working out when you feel so awful. So karma hit and the next day she called out of work cause she felt so crummy. When she came back in, she told me how nauseated and lightheaded she was and I said yeah that’s me every day but I still have to come into work and I’m still expectedto act like everything is OK and still do everything that everybody else does. Can you imagine trying to work out during that? No I didn’t think so.

I tell people that every step I take is like a jumping jack for them. A few steps is fine but after a full day of going to the bathroom, getting food out of the fridge, etc. it adds up so fast
