  1. So I recently tried canabis because my doctor was out of options I went to a despencery in Colorado where I currently live and got pills with the ratio of 15:1 for cbd to thc you don't get high, just a bit drozy, my pain went from a daily 8 out of ten to a 4/5 out of ten which I didn't believe was possible. I have also had increased tolerance when standing! My family also says that I seem more awake and present, I feel like I still have brain fog but it's a different type I don't really know how to describe it, but it's definitely a type that I can function better with even though it's taking some time to get used to it. I've been doing this for three weeks and I am causiously optimistic good luck
  2. My parents are sort of supportive, but like many of you have said they get upset or mad when I want to complain. They always say that if all I can see is the negative then I won't ever get healthy again. I keep trying to explain that I need to process, but apparently I want to process too much (I need a weekly venting session). I am seeing a therapist but she didn't know me before so it's very hard for her to understand that my sad looks like other people's happy, I have always been a very happy person but now I feel like a storm cloud is above my head. I don't have a S.O. Since I'm asexual but I do have a best friend that I have known since we were 5. She hasn't been supportive at all really, she's too obsessed with her own problems and I do care about those but I can't even talk about my illness with her with out getting grumped at that I should be trying harder, or in less meds ect... I love her (as a friend) but it's super frustrating I had to miss her brothers wedding because I had to go to the hospital, I told her that I was having a really bad panic attack , I got myself help, that's all that should matter right? And then she didn't speek to me for a few months and every time I finally got her to talk she would yell at me (I should also say that we live in different countries now and I was ment to fly in for her brothers wedding, and I had found out three days before I had to leave my kitten was only a year old, I was packed I had said my good byes and then boom panic attack along with crushing feelings of depression I felt horrible how could I leave my kitten when she Helped me so much yet how could I miss my best friends brothers wedding, and I just cracked from all the stress, and got my self to The hospital straight away ) so after a few months of being yelled at all the time and not wanting to tell her the whole story I finally had to because I could take the abuse anymore. And she didn't believe me, it was grand, and furthermore she was mad as **** that I hadnet told her. One I didn't want to ruin her brothers wedding and two I wasn't emotionally stable enough to tell her. So long story short I'm sad and my people haven't been helpful at all. And that's not even getting into how my brother has been treating me. Thanks for reading my vent I hope it made some semblance of sense, but I'm crying right now and it's the middle of the night so it probably doesn't Mal And I'm 24
  3. I have increased my salt but I'm not seeing much of a difference, and they have tried all the meds that they are comfortable with (my docs) I sew or embroider and read a lot to try and combat the brain fog but I forget the book a day or two later Thank you for the support
  4. Hey I'm new My name is Mal I'm 24 and was dignosed with POTS in November of 2013. Though I had had symptoms since 2009. I currently live in Colorado, but I'm from Ontario Canada. I have three cats whom I love. I'm very symptomatic, and have anxiety and depression due to being sick. None of the meds has worked on me I'm trying the exercise therapy but it's real hard with the exercise intolerance. I'm really missing horse back riding and badminton, for the riding it's not safe right now for badminton there is no where to play out here. I am currently on medical leave from Colorado state university and I hope to be able to finally finish my undergrad at some point soon So I just wanted to say hi and thank you all in advance for the support Cheers Mal
  5. Hey I'm 24 and went on BCP (yaz) when I was about 16 for irregular periods. I don't take the plecebo pill and I find that I feel much better on yaz, I tried the generic kind and that made me emotional so I switched back to the brand name. I haven't had my BCP effect my POTS in anyway negativity except when I switched brands. So if you find out that there is no reason why you haven't had a period then, BCP might help
