Ibrabec, the CFS has been here with me for 18 years. After I had a sugery, POTS started. P.O.T.S. can happen after surgery, car accident, with Chronic Fatigue.... Lots of very young girls get it. The Autonomic Nervous System stops working correctly. In a nutshell, the blood can't make it up to the brain when you stand. A lot of symptoms and problems with it. Most doctors have never heard of it. Pretty shameful.

I have a wonderful Integrative MD. I have to take many supplements.$$$ Most doctors know nothing about that either. I am blessed to have her as my doctor. In all her years she has only seen two patients with Dysautonomia (POTS) and I am far worse that the other one. OY.

I just like to tell people about it a little so maybe little by little people will know about it or it can help someone.

I miss gardening outside but I am so happy to be able to keep my violets. I thought I would have to get rid of them. My sweet hubby had bought me the two large floral carts too! He did a great job keeping the plants alive. The hard part is the repotting... He gets it all out for me and I do the potting. Hard work for me right now but I do love the violets!
