The first and last hour of my days are utterly useless. I lie in bed, eyes flitting, wondering how long my thoughts will be pea soup. But I rather like pea soup, so eventually I get up to eat and write this.
Tests came back. MRI, EEG, Holter, and Glucose: all normal. Funny enough, I had a full-on (for me) seizure in the neurologist's office after she delivered the news. She is convinced (and we agree) that my episodes are not epileptic seizures, just a manifestation of autonomic dysfunction.
Speaking of POTS, we have set up a new treatment adventure. Dallas, here we come! Here's the link again, for Dr. Mary Kyprianou at the POTS Treatment Center. I will go through a two-week regimen, from October 22 to November 2. I need to read more about exactly what I'll be doing, but it includes biofeedback treatments, about 90 minutes each day. A friend of ours said it was the best thing she's done for her POTSy daughter. Hoping for some positive results!!
Right now I'm pretty limited. Couch-bound, but saving up energy to see friends every few days. Getting out and having fun -- SO important to maintaining a good outlook. Friends keep my mind off my health issues.
Just 6 1/2 weeks until we depart. Let's do this thing!
