- My first day in Orlando is off to a great start! Janiece and I enlisted the help of Lyft in order to accomplish all the errands we needed to run. Despite our chronic illnesses, we did quite well! Of course, our service pups in training were quite the litter helpers. Thank you for joining us on our adventure! We hope to see you tomorrow as I have an even bigger adventure in store!

Both Dogs are so beautiful And so cute
Good to see you doing well. Thank God for great friends
Looks like you had a fun day! ❤
So proud of you Jaquie! What an awesome day of fun filled activities.....and you got to do a lot before your illnesses kicked in! Have an awesome night girls!❤❤
Looked like a fun day. You did a ton with no reactions, bet that felt great!
You have such wonderful friends! Looks like you're having a lot of fun! ^_^
where did you get the finger thing to check your pulse? need to get one for my mom.
How do you have such amazing friends? Did you grow up together? I’m chronically ill and never able to go out and meet people so it gets lonely.
OK so my question might be kind of random. I have POTS as well and often times need to sit down in stores as well. thankfully now I have my rollator which helps but sometimes sitting in it isn't as beneficial as sitting or even lying on the ground. do you find that people crowd you a lot to figure out what is wrong? how do you respond to them? I have PTSD as well so sometimes that triggers anxiety which in return makes my pots worse. sometimes I end up pushing myself to the point of almost passing out just to keep from sitting down.
I know it's been a long time since you wrote this but Stickman Communications has excellent cards you can just show people so you don't have to explain when feeling unwell. They cover so many health conditions including POTS
Nice
0:38 You sound so different up until about this point in the video.
I can relate to your MCAS. I'm not sure what type of Allergy testing your immunologist/allergist has done but most of my reactions come from food. I don't have to eat them to have a reaction. I can just come into contact through the air. I have done the RAST test but most of my food allergies did not show up because the are latent. Some take 4 days for me to have a reaction after I came in contact with the allergen. I had to do extensive blood testing. I went through Meridian Valley Laboratory 6839 Fort Dent Way, Suite 206, Tukwila, WA 98188 206-209-4200 or 855-405-8378. They do both food allergy testing and environmental allergens. You can order the tests with or without a doctor's orders. Apparently from what my doctor was saying there is a connection between EDS and MCAS and dairy and gluten allergies. Also these food greatly affect gastroparesis. After alleminating everything I was eating that I was allergic to this helped me get somewhat control over my MCAS. Although it is hard to avoid all situations like eating out, or just going into stores that have hot prepared food.
always someone testing a service dog or handler ablities. people never understand that a dog is always in training and do stress just like people do
wow you did a lot today. So glad you have such good friends, such blessings. Have you tried histamine diets since you have histamine problems? I hear it can take as long a 2 years to see differences. Just started this myself, but I was warned it takes time www.swansonvitamins.com/blog/raena-morgan/histamine-intolerance-and-food-allergies, you specialists should be able to guide you through this.There are even lists of meds histamine sensitive people are supposed to avoid, so know i will check that out and see the correlation with my symptoms and hsitory. Enjoy the rest of your time with friends, try not to overdo it. Prayers!
wow lots of pills I only take one in night and one in morning noice vid tho
you are pretty

HI,
I don't have pots but my illness responds almost the same way. I try to evaluate what I can do and what I can't, choosing stores and places that work for me and timing is crucial. I plan like one large thing a day if I fell well, if not I take it as a time to reassess and not stress about it. You may want to plan to go to places that have chairs or benches to sit or use those mechanized wagons so you can stop and limit what you do. Once you have a better handle on rating your days and events out you will have less bad episodes and less ptsd triggers, I have family members with ptsd so I am always alert to that, although mine is more a physical trigger it was really bad at one time with tons of anxiety attacks causing ptsd symptoms, until I learned to manage better and embrace where I was. Like all things embrace the issue and use your skills/talents to work through it or find other answers. Have things delivered where you can and when you really need help find a method to deal with it that is acceptable to you and gets you what you need. So when alone I have people take my groceries out because I just never know how fatigued I will get and I still have to drive home. I hope anything here helps you. Ptsd dogs can help but it is another layer of responsibility that you have to take on, but for many it is a new way to figure things out. Also get support and counseling that respects you condition and beliefs, meditation and epsom salt soaks and baths also I hear are very good, even if you are just soaking your feet. Cultivate beauty on youtube has nighttime rituals that may help, a good nights sleep is very precious. Don't forget with the internet the is also on-line support, you can even start your own group. Prayers to you and may you find your answers.
Ana Larson I have my rollator which has a seat to sit on but with POTS sometimes I've noticed sitting on the floor is better or even lying. I do try to limit my activities but some days I can be okay leaving the apartment but halfway through the store or even at the beginning my heart rate can spike and I get dizzy and nauseous. so sometimes it's unavoidable and if sitting on my rollator or a bench doesn't help, I HAVE to get on the floor. my issue is people coming up and asking what's wrong or trying to pet my service dog. I know they mostly mean well but when I'm in a weakened state anyways, my anxiety and ptsd get triggered. so I was wondering how others handled the situations, what they say to someone whose asking questions and so forth.
Maybe something here may help www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS707US707&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#safe=active&q=tecniques+for+dealing+with+pots
Maybe print a small sign that says "I'm okay. Please give me space." and another sign that says "Help me I am having -----."?
Good idea, some times the most direct approach is the best one.
