Not me telling everyone I know that today is dysautonomia awareness month. People need to know! I’m sick of being judged as lazy when I’m literally just trying not wake up on the floor!

After searching that up, that might be what’s wrong with me. Doctor only diagnosed me with “sinus tachycardia” but didn’t give a cause

potentially also worth looking into POTS, my understanding is that not everyone with dysautonomia has POTS but everyone with POTS has dysautonomia. and it’s been on the rise in a major way over the past few years, like in a well-documented way, since the bodily systems damage caused by covid can trigger it

Key word: for women. Lots of conditions commonly found in women were just ignored
