I was diagnosed with POTS ( Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) almost a year and a half ago. It most likely developed from Long-Term Covid. I experience many daily challenges. I had trouble walking in the beginning having to use a walker. Every few steps I would have my blood pressure drop and need to sit as I would get tachycardia. I went weekly to multiple sessions of physical therapy and therapy to every doctor imaginable. The bills started pile up and it became extremely hard to drive and focus in college. I had to leave my job in radio to focus on recovering.

I ended up getting a nutritionist as most doctors said they couldn’t help me out. The nutritionist has helped me so much in my journey, I gained some of my life back, like walking without a walker, fixing my hypoglycemia, stomach digestion, and handling the heat more.

During all this stress I turned to God, the beach, and hockey to help me escape all these weird drops and hot feelings in my body that I can never explain. Hockey containing a cold environment has made me feel alive again. With that distracting me from all the things I endure like trips to the hospital or major panic attacks that make me feel like I can’t breathe while shaking uncontrollably.

You can see why I don’t want to give up my diet. The food for my diet isn’t cheap nor are the supplements. On top of that I got to pay my nutritionist and gas to see her. I don’t want to give up my diet journey half way through due to cost. I’m still trying to pay off all my other doctors visits as well. I know in God’s name that with faith of a mustard seed that I can get better and help.

Even if you can’t donate a little prayer would mean the world to me.
