I’m basically 100% fine now, but thanks. I just wish I could have told the me that existed right when I started having this happen that it would eventually get better. At the time it was very scary thinking that I might have to deal with POTS or shortness of breath for the rest of my life or that my organs were permanently damaged in some way. I find myself more fortunate than most in that I never really had the fatigue and brain fog issues that plagued and possibly still plague many others. I could definitely see those things being quite detrimental to my mental health in the long term if I had them.

Totally this - am many times as I said 'you will get better from this' - we both knew that was just a hope. She's so much better now, and getting rid of POTS symptoms was a massive turning point for her, esp as we kept being told that no one recovers from POTS. And yes, a friend of mine (male model in his 30s) who also had LC, could cycle for hours (no physical fatigue), but mental tasks totally wiped him out.
