1.  Medical Stuff:

  • Had Prolotherapy treatment #1 Monday on my neck and upper back.
  • Saw Larry Tuesday in the office-We talked about how I am doing and goals to set.  We decided that it is best to still wait to see Dr. Grubb and hear another opinion on POTS treatment.  
  • The cardiologist called and said my blood work looked good.
  • Had PT Thursday.  My PT pretty much said I am a “lifer.”  I’m okay with that if it gets me to where I need to be.  I also met another EDS person at therapy this week. 
  • Did home rehab Wednesday and Friday.

1.  I started my Beta Blocker, Propranolol and started wearing compression stockings.  I was terrified of swallowing my first pill because I’ve had a history of being allergic to medications, but thankfully nothing crazy happened.  My compression stockings are definitely going to take some time to get used to, and I would appreciate any tips on how to get them on in less than 20 minutes.
