ok, i have ehlers danlos syndrome, Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome , osteoporosis, asthma, Peripheral artery disease, autoimmune disease.
Thats it, i think, untill next time i go to the hospital and they decide to add something else to my list x1 -
You're not alone as many members of the community suffer with the same conditions as yourself and I'm sure they will be more than happy to get in contact with you to offer support.
Forgive me but I have not heard of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome before, would you mind explaining what this is?
It is incredibly difficult to come to terms with disabilities, in time you will be able to accept them by finding ways of coping them. It's just finding those ways but we can help you!1 -

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, is basically where your heart rate will beat so fast and this maybe because i have stood up or sat down ect, it causes me to blackout, i feel weak and dizzy, its so hard to explain but that is the easiest way for me to get it across.
I can not do anything which will make my heart race, so no funfairs/theme parks ect. Even watching telly, i can feel my heart racing. x2 -
Yes I know what you mean 6points5 and it is not nice , I have got hypertrophic cardiomyopathy2
