A solution to shower flares in POTS!! Probably more than I want to pay, but it would solve so many problems.

Bank of 3 kitchen cupboards with the doors off. The insides are now all lined mid-blue with silver sparkles through (because that's what spouse wanted).
Okay it's not perfect, but the next one is done (apart from the backs of the batons that spouse won't let me do).
Couple more bubbles to get out next time, but by-'eck they weren't kidding about that "...no stretching, no reaching" business (welcome to #POTSLife), but progress has been made!
Anyone else's autonomic nervous system have commitment issues? 😅 Who else is collecting symptoms like Pokémon cards? 🃏

Thermometer read 107 yesterday here in coastal Connecticut, and I am NOT built for that, jfc.

Sometimes I get ads/commercials for low sodium stuff and I’m like - wrong crowd ad algorithim, this baby needs a lot of salt to function *slaps cardiovascular system* #POTSLife
Black bold text at the top: "What you see after sneezing on a bad POTS day" and thinner text that was added later: "and psychosis flare-up". The image is of a black and white static screen, and a picture of Samara from the film The Ring has been edited in to look like she is crawling out of a television screen.
I have recently been diagnosed with POTS. I have also been in the thralls of therapy and my trauma recovery period, so my neurodivergent symptoms have been flaring up.
So I am offering you all an edited meme, maybe others may relate. 💀💫 #POTSLife #MentalHealth #BPD #OSDD #TheRing #HorrorSky
Photo of a packet of liquid IV electrolytes and a water bottle. And my knees holding the water bottle.
Pregaming then: drinks before the bar.
Pregaming now: liquid IV before sitting in a chair for hours.

Added a tad tooooo much salt to my water. Gotta keep the kidneys busy somehow 🫣🫠 #potslife

When I say I want a salty pretzel this is what I mean. #POTSLife
Still mad that squeezing my legs makes my brain function again. Argh. Donning compression anything uses so many pace points. Heart rate up to 138. *pant pant* *collapse* #POTSlife
You know what needs to exist? A way to buy one (1) packet of every flavor of every electrolyte mix in existence so we don’t have to keep spending $15-$30 only to find out that yep, that one’s gross too.
