    My daughter keeps some alcohol wipes in her bag. Smelling the alcohol pad seems to help with nausea. She also keeps a couple of plastic bags and wipes in case of a vomiting episode.

      Alcohol wipes are great! I keep them next to my bed as I get nausea as night. I'm happy your daughter found a helpful trick ❤️ chronic illness can be unpredictable, having a medical bag can be key in increasing the ability to care for ourselves. Sending hugs! ❤️❤️ You are not alone!

    As somebody who is just getting diagnosed with hyperadrenergic pots and EDS in their late 20s, I really appreciate this video because to me it feels like we are normalizing disabilities, and that anybody can get them and we just have to find our own ways of living. Just thank you for talking about it. For the first time in a while, I feel very seen!

      Absolutely! Disability is a part of the human experience. I'm really happy that this video was helpful for you! If there are any specific videos you'd like, let me know and ill be happy to add them to the list. I'm currently working on a video about disability + chronic illness representation in books/ stories where the main character is disabled. I hope you like it :)

    I just started the video, but I wanted to drop a quick thank you for having captions! - a hearing-impaired viewer

      Absolutely!! I am a huge disability access advocate. I use CC for a sensory proessing disorder. I'm glad I could make your viewing easier.

    The instant ice packs are such a good idea!!

      For sure!! I keep an ice roller and ice gel packs in my freezer so I can use those at home but the one time use instant ice packs are for when I go out. Heat is such a big trigger for me!

      Thank you for your support! My heart goes out to you and your son. EDS/POTS combo can be tough!! I have a new video coming out this month about academic accomodations in education. I'm sure your son and yourself can find some helpful info in there. Feel free to connect with me on Instagram or TikTok at Dunn.a1

    I have a low blood cell count and I'm very anemic, I use raw sugar packets in my bag and I eat them when I am dizzy! My store sells a pack of 25 for 90 cents, it is by the "sugar in the raw" company.
