More ups than downs ...

Since I moved back home to be with Jon & Blake, I've had more up days than down days. So that's good! One thing that is constant, though, is my high level of tiredness. I'm still having to take naps during the day. But I'm quite proud of myself in the fact that I don't need to walk with my cane anymore. My heart rate is staying calm, so that's a very good thing.

Jon & I went to my Cardiologist yesterday, and he's going to change some meds so I won't feel so tired. With POTS, you have to continually drink water. He's putting me on a med that will help me retain more water, which will hopefully keep me awake. I've been fighting taking naps lately just because I'm excited about moving into our new house, and I want to be sorting through our stuff. I haven't taken a nap in a couple of days, and I paid for it today when I woke up from my FOUR-HOUR nap. I completely wasted my afternoon by sleeping, and I felt so groggy afterwards. I'm hoping that we'll get some answers from the sleep specialist appt in August.

  1. Hey Jamie,

    Glad to hear you're doing better. Let me know if you need a hand carrying stuff. Why don't you post a few pictures of your new house. I'd like to see it.
