In 2011, I was diagnosed with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome, or PoTS, which is a rare illness that effectively breaks down your autonomic nervous system: the system that controls everything that is mean to happen automatically in the body - so your heart beat, digestion, circulation, immune system etc. As you can imagine, this had a pretty devastating effect on my life - I literally couldn't walk down the street, I slept for 16 hours a day, was in chronic pain, had blackouts, never ending heart palpitations, unbearable stomach issues, constant headaches... the list goes on. It was anything but fun and I was bed-ridden 95% of the time!
