mrsdavidson8605 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I just have to vent. I feel like no one understands me... ugh.. I was doing ok (not wonderful, but was able to be up for more than a couple hours without feeling like crap)... then my husband and I had a garage sale last weekend, totally wore myself out, and got Bronchitus and I think now strep throat.. I'm on an antibiotic but it doesn't seem to be helping.. I can't get my fever down either... the last time I got this sick was back in October when we drove to the Mayo clinic and I didn't recover until after the new year... i'm so worried that this is going to be the same way... anyway, sorry to be so negative, but it just stinks to get a LITTLE relief then feel like you've stepped back a whole MILE....

mandasmom Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I completely understand. I have often told family members that the "ups and downs" are the worst part of this disorder. It's so frustrating to be headed uphill and then run face first into a wall, only to tumble all the way back down the hill. I hope this is only a few steps back for you and that you will be headed uphill again very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 i agree, some days i feel ok and think i have enough strength to do things but am worn out for days afterwards, in my opinion its the worst part of POTs - getting yourself excited that you are feeling better then step back a mile - it certainly does trample on your confidence. i find that a cuddle from my friends and family and a few chocolate chip cookies helps, as nothing else seems to!! also when i get a fever of some sort, it always makes my POTs worse.Hope you are feeling better soon and keep your chin up!!kellz x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
