Today on Thanksgiving, I have so much to be thankful for.  I am thankful for traditions and for family.  I am thankful that I get to celebrate Thanksgiving with both sides of my family; the Dama’s and the Jaskolski’s.  I am thankful for all of my extended family; aunts, uncles, cousins…

I am thankful for the delicious food that fills my tummy.  Bounzadotes (sp?), Stuffing, Gnocchi and Italian Sausage, Turkey, Stuffed Mushrooms, Lemon Bars, Broccoli Rice casserole, Kids Wine, and so much more. 

When I was on the diagnosis path and was beginning to think I had EDS and POTS, I would look on the Internet for hours at a time to try and find what people were doing to manage both disorders.  So I have decided to document the process that I am going through to figure out what works for my own records and for anyone else out there who may also be looking for more information on the management of either disorder.

I have come up with a beginning schedule of ways to try and help manage my POTS and EDS until I can get more treatments going such as physical therapy, prolotherapy, chiro/massage, water therapy…Of course this schedule does not take into account day-to-day happenings such as appointments, errands, housework, etc…
