Maddie 🐞 :
ive had POTS symptoms ever since 2021/ early 2022 and i have GERD & LPR as well as my legs would turn blueish purple in the shower and sometimes when i stand. I also would really notice it when it was hot. when i was pregnant it got intense my heart rate would go from 60-175 then back down to 40 so i went to a cardiologist and dr kept telling me its just cause your pregnant just wear compression socks and drink water you’ll be fine. it didn’t ever help. Now im not pregnant and i still struggle, im a SAHM and i have to take care of my baby and it can be so hard. i watched ur whole video 💗 its so hard and no one wants to listen

And let’s talk about how the medical system dismisses a majority of disorders that are predominantly women. Wonder why that is???

I have Fibromyalgia and was not taken serious for years by doctors it’s a physical and mental pain that no one can describe unless you go through it. Everything you said I have felt and thought! Keep going girl you’re amazing for sharing!💗

I’ve been having POTS symptoms since my junior year of high school (2012). My first ever tilt table test is in two weeks. 🙄

it took me years to get a dysautonomia diagnosis and a Hypermobility Syndrome diagnosis. I also had no advocate and nobody helping me until now. I'm so sorry you went through

as if women aren't already struggling to be heard and find community PARTICULARLY in the healthcare sector. the lack of professionals believing and taking women seriously to the point where it takes years for a diagnosis IF EVER, is absolutely unacceptable. this was an incredibly disgusting take, i'm so sorry my angel

Thank you for posting this! Embarrassed for the author of that article and her lack of pure knowledge, understanding, empathy and kindness. I am currently in a severe flare up since last March with a go fund me and the words I’ve been called by family, friends and strangers and told how worthless I am will never leave me ❤️I am so sorry that you share a similar experience in a different way and hope you know how strong you are and how much you matter queen.

One of my best friends, one of the smartest and hardworking people I Know has POTS. I have different chronic illnesses. It’s so hard when it’s invisible too. This needs to be a bigger discussion and women need to be believed when we say something is wrong

So much, YES!!! And we wonder why drs don’t help us??? It’s so hard to find people in the medical community who believe us and are willing to “take us on” as patients. Thank you for speaking on this. Well done!! [Heartwarming]

I completely understand my lovely. I was 9 when my chronic pain started, diagnosed at 10 with hEDS (because of family history and a GP that actually knew about EDS and HSD). But then when I became incontinent at 15, I was told that it was my own fault or that it was normal or just anxiety when in reality my bladder muscles had atrophied and ended up killing three of my organs because I was left untreated for 6 years thinking it was my own fault. I post for that girl, the disabled girl in school who's always on crutches who gets bullied for her disability, the disabled girl who feels so much shame for something beyond her control, the girl who develops active ideation because of that bullying and shame and for the young girl who is told that her organs are beyond saving and she will have a permanent ostomy for the rest of her life because I wish I realised there was a larger ostomy community online when I was 21/22! I felt so alone at first honestly in navigating a completely new body and as much as I love my stomas, they were absolutely not easy to get used to mentally. To claim our community is women who are just chasing labels or just really want to be sick is just so far from the truth it's actually appalling! They wouldn't survive a day in our bodies but they don't want to accept that actually we are a lot stronger than them mentally because a) we don't need to tear other women down and b) we've gone through struggles they don't even believe are real because they're so horrific and we somehow came out the other side. so I'm sending my love, you've gained a new follower in me and I truly wish you nothing but strength in your chronic illness journey 💖💖💖
