At least 10 different medical "professionals" when I tell them the entire story of me developing POTS, which started with "I got the covid booster": Well, the vaccine doesn't cause *insert whatever the suspected diagnosis of the week was* so that's irrelevant

One cardiologist under the age of 40: Actually, we are starting to see a connection between COVID, the booster, and dysautonomia, particularly in younger people, and especially if they have an autoimmune disorder.

#fuck you fuck you fuck ALL of you and your dismissive bullshit #I HAD TO SUGGEST POTS #None of them were even thinking along those lines #One provider even told me 'dizziness isn't a common symptom of POTS'#dizziness? you think dizziness isn't a common side effect of the too-much-blood-rushing-to-the-lower-half-of-the-body disorder?#I fucking can't with these people #my cardiologist walked into the room and said 'I think I understand your symptoms but tell me everything from the beginning'#then proceeded to say 'yeah this absolutely sounds like POTS and I'm glad you recognized it let's talk about a treatment plan'#I did have to wear a little dude on my chest for two days #heart rate monitor I think #and the adhesive have me a rash #but it's off now and I've been doing all the things he suggested and oh my god I can sing again #Like I have actual good breath support and can sing. and I can talk in long phrases without frequent pauses to catch my breath #I ran a few days ago I actually fucking ran and it didn't kill me #the dizziness is getting better #thank fuck for good doctors #lex rambles
