I'm going to post this here so everyone can understand a little about the disease that has pretty much destroyed normal life for me for the past 2 years! While I haven't got an official diagnosis since the doctors refuse to test me, they often have said that they believe this is what I have.

Its a very disabling, invisible illness. And its the reason I cant work an outside job or work really quickly on game stuff. So I was looking around on YouTube and found a cute short video series on Dysautonomia's most common sub-set, POTS. So i decided to share and see what people think about it~




So if you have any questions you want to askme about it, just go ahead~ Its not fun to live with at all, and suicide rates among people who are diagnosed are very high and increasing, because it really is so difficult to live with. But I hope I can shed some light on it, so for those who think its annoying for me getting sick alot randomly, now you know why!

For some odd reason the videos won't show for me. I wish you the best of luck with this.

Sorreh. Anyhow its where your autonomic nervous system (that controls heart rate, breathing, digestion, sweating, etc.) goes off balance and makes you REALLy sick. I throw up a lot and have a constant very fast heartrate. >_<
