I tried car camping in my backyard recently, but it didn’t go great; the reason being that my POTS did not like it. When I say that, I mean I was having tachycardia and such while setting up my car and everything. While it was annoying, I was only in my backyard, so I could just go inside. This has not put me off trying it again, but it will prevent me from doing it until the weather cools down.

I am going to start exercising, something that scares me. According to some studies, exercise, when done in a specific way, can help with POTS symptoms. My cardiologist has been pushing it for a while, but because I experience (what I think is) post-exertional malaise, I was very hesitant. Also, because I’ve tried it in the past and it’s made my fatigue and pain worse, I’ve been against it. I believe I am now in a place where I can very slowly introduce some recumbent/seated exercises. At this time, I am not going to physical therapy, but I’m not completely against doing so in the future if need be.

I finished a crochet project recently too. I’ll insert the pattern link below. I loved this pattern, its a crochet mace. It took me a while to finish it, but it was worth it for the outcome.
