Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and i would like to introduce myself. My name is Christina and i'm 19 years old. A half year ago i decided to join this Forum, i never posted anything.. Untill now... Cause my friend told me you guys are really welcoming and nice. I live in the Netherlands and in my opinion Dysautonomia and Pots are here so unknown... That's why it took so long before i got a diagnoses. I've been struggling really hard with my stomach,colon,small bowel,Heart rate , blood preassure and kidneys the last couple of years. I'm hospitalized for 14 weeks now. It has been a really difficult time cause i got 3 surgery's, 2 sepsis, and i've been treated with total parenteral nutrition.. Now i can eat again on my own, but there's a change i need to get back on TPN and because of all the sepsis TPN is not a good option for me... But in the mean time i try to study. I've always been really positive and that's the most important thing when you're into these kind of problems. Besides my ilness and study i like to spent my time with family and friend, and though it may not be easy i still think i will get through this... I always tell myself everyday i can do this.. So this is a little about me, if there are any questions tell me okay? I saw the most of you guys are really positive and i really like that. That's how it's supposed to be on a forum like this
