#why add the “syndrome” after saying POTS? it's in the name! that's like saying ATM machine

[bodrewritten]

the fanfic author's curse real as hell I just got back from the hospital for the second time this week bc I had to get my blood drawn. I got It drawn at the hospital for the first time, but that was to test for clotting. They wanna test again for immune disorders because I had a pretty bad pleurisy (Which is also the reason why I went to the hospital the first time!) Then I had to see my Cardiologist, who told me that my joint issues may be related to my Orthostatic Hypotension. They noted that because I have loadsa other symptoms I might have EDS. Of course, I was recommended to talk to a rheumatologist about this. then they sent me home with a heart moniter AGAIN! i hate the stickers bc they irritate my skin >:P

I can't believe its taken this long to get a real diagnoses for any of this, its all pretty recent. But they've always been there. anyways, i'm grateful I was able to get any of this, even the fucking dumb excuses like "growing pains" or an "anxious heart" when I was younger.
