1200 : still in bed. Feeling hopeful about the day. A few things I feel confident about getting done. I drink a caffeine drink and Liquid IV (a bottle of what tastes like salt water) before I start my day (so that I can function). #POTS #CHRONICILLNESS https://twitter.com/EarperMarine/status/1321139008181862406

1245: I'm waiting/hoping that my reflux meds will do their job so that I'm able to eat "breakfast" soon.

1300: still in bed, mostly because I have an arbitrary order I feel like I have to do things in. Today = eat, shower, make a phone call.
I can't just make the phone call now. Why? Because I haven't showered.
But first, I need my GI stuff to let me eat.

1400: ate cereal.
Trying to psych myself up to shower. Showering for me is A LOT. A shower normally zaps a day's worth of energy. I'm already lower on energy than I hoped I would be. Ugh.
Also, my pain today seems about usual. I'd call it a 5, mostly in my low back. #POTS

Cont: I took a 5 hour energy to try to get enough energy to shower. Fingers crossed.

A lot of gagging/dry heaving today which happens a lot because of allergies/ #MCAS. It's about as fun as it sounds.

1500: the first fully "wasted" hour of the day. These hours are what make up most of my days. I know I need to do something but I get more overwhelmed thinking about it as the day goes on, which makes it harder to overcome the fatigue. #adhd #pots

1545: showered. Now to recover from that. Seriously, I'm spent. Laying here trying to catch my breath.
After a little bit of time on my feet, pain is definitely up to above average (7ish), mostly in my low back.
