Blow Your Mind!
You know whats weird to think about? I think about all the stuff I have been through in my life, medically that is, and it blows my mind. It never did before, because it was old news to me, but now its just weird. My NCS and POTS aren’t really a huge deal for my anymore, so that girl who had to be in the hospital all the time, was passing out for no reason all the time, and had to deal with all kinds of medical procedures seems like a different person to me. I am really proud at myself looking at all I have been through and am still here and relatively sane. Not to brag or anything, but I am pretty strong. I need to keep what I have been through in mind when I am feeling overwhelmed or stressed out.
I know at times dealing with this whole mess can be stressful, but everyday you make it through is a thing to be happy about. I don’t know where I would be without my family keeping me going. There were days when I didn’t want to go to the mall with them or out to eat because I was afraid of getting sick. My family were there for me for though and dealt with it and they were the ones who pushed me when I needed it.
Speaking of NCS, POTS, and family, it would be cool if everyone in the Monroe area could get together as kind of a support group of sorts. It would be nice to be able to meet people with dysautonomia who live in the same area. Just an idea…
