Apparently everyone and their mother are sick with some kind of nasty cold, at least it seems that way in school. I don’t get “people” sick…which in my vocabulary is colds, flu, etc. Anything other than my heart problem is “people” sick. Anyways! I don’t get colds very often, but when I do…LOOK OUT!

If you have POTS, NCS, etc. you know where I am going with this. When we get sick, its always worse than when “normal” people get sick. And people don’t seem to understand that sometimes, they just think we are big ole’ drama queens or something wanting all this extra attention. FALSE! The last time I had the flu, I had to be put in the hospital, and I don’t usually try to milk attention to be put into the emergency room…not my cup of tea. I used to have a friend who would just complain about how she was sick and no one cared, but when I was sick, everyone freaked out and just fawned over me. Okay…first, get over yourself, and two….well, just get over yourself. Ask my family, I don’t like people bugging me. If I am sick, the LAST thing I want is a thousand people in  my face. I swear, God has given me a huge amount of self control because people who say ignorant things like that to me are lucky I don’t smack them.

If any of you dysautonomics are feeling sicknesses coming on, I’ll be thinking of you!!
