flower Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hello everybody, I am fed up with the frustration, and life passing me by.Decided that as soon as the dysautonomia symptoms improve a bit following my latest bout of thyrotoxicosis, I am going to go rollerskating with my daughter.By 'go rollerskating' I mean covered in protective gear, in a safe empty place with my husband there for help if need be, maybe for just 2 minutes at a time... But at least it will be 2 minutes of feeling a tiny bit of freedom from my body prison! Does anybody else skate despite dizziness etc? Any tips/ advice?This is something I am totally determined to do, no matter what. I hope it is enjoyable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corina Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi Flower,I loved rollerskating and went on several trips with my son. Unfortunately during one of our holidays where we took our skates with us I fell and broke my tail bone. That stopped me from rollerskating and after having surgery (about a year later) POTS hit really hard. I was determined to go back to rollerskating once I got cured but my hubby was so fed up with it that he threw my rollerskates away (after telling me ). He was right, I was never able to do it again.It seems you're doing everything to be safe so I'd say: do it and enjoy it. I hope it will bring you a smile!!!
