Just a "zebra" trying my best to live life to the fullest with EDS and POTS...and loving the ride.

Just Another Curveball

Written by Katie. Posted in Challenges, Chronic Illness, POTS Awareness

It’s no secret that I have been struggling with the ups and downs of POTS the last few months. More so than I have in a long time.

I’ve received a lot of questions, phone calls, emails, and concern from my amazing loved ones, so I thought it would be a good time to put a blog post out there. Plus, I miss writing.  It’s a wonderful way to communicate, help others understand, and to spread awareness which I believe in with all of my heart. Plus, it is simply a cathartic thing for me.

My 30 things.
