I walked a full mile today without stopping

Morgan
This might sound small to most people but six months ago I couldn't get to the mailbox without my heart rate hitting 160. POTS has stolen so many things from me. Today I walked a full mile around my neighborhood in Nashville and my HR stayed under 130 the whole time. I actually cried in the driveway when I got home. Salt loading + compression + slow steady reconditioning. It's working.

The crying in the driveway part got me. I've been there. Congrats on the mile.

Not small at all. I have EDS and every milestone like this is hard-won. Celebrate it!!

Morgan this made me tear up. I remember your post from a couple months ago when you could barely make it to the kitchen. This is HUGE. Don't you dare call it small. I'm so proud of you.
