Health update: My doctors are still ordering tests 🥺🏥 I’m hypermobile. The pinched nerve in my ankle was due to the bones in my foot being partially dislocated. The treatments have been helping, but my heart rate is still too high. My nervous system is broken. My body doesn’t regulate blood flow the way it’s supposed to. My heart rate isn’t supposed to jump from 75 to 130 when I stand up. 🥺 My doctor suspects that I have POTS or another form of dysautonomia. I check all the boxes. I’ve been working as much as I can to afford the cost of medical care, but it’s not enough, and the extra hours on my feet are making the neuropathy worse. This right here is the reason I need a formal diagnosis on paper. My medical bills and expenses are piling up faster than I can afford. I’m in the U.S. My insurance policy is garbage, and I don’t get paid when I miss work for medical exams. I’m likely going to start a crowdfund. I need help. I want my life back.
