I'm so sick of being in bed/on the couch. I just want to get back to my cardiac rehab and start getting stronger again!
I can't seem to get over this stupid cold/bug. Every time I'm on my feet I get dizzy and nauseous. My vision goes a little blurry and my heart races.

Did you know that after astronauts return to earth, they often experience POTS like symptoms while their bodies get used to gravity again? It's not technically called POTS but it's basically the same thing. This study was posted on NASA's website about giving astronauts Midodrine (POTS medication). http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/1024.html Click here to see Chris Hadfield doing a Tilt Table Test.
My sister has a gluten and sugar intolerance. She's been off of sugar and gluten for almost a year now. For her birthday, I wanted her to still have a "cake". This was my solution. Granted I was so exhausted and nauseous after all the standing that I needed anti-nausea meds.. but it was worth it.
Happy 21st Birthday Sis! :) I've been trying to get over this cold for a while. My throat and headache were keeping me awake so at 4am I decided to take Nyquil. Big mistake. My gastroparesis means that medications often upset my stomach. So instead of getting a restful sleep like I'd hoped, I started throwing up on top of everything. I can't wait to get back to my normal and continue my cardiac rehab. |
