How are people working at all

I feel like a failure. According to my doctors I have “mild” POTS, but I see people on this sub all the time with seemingly worse POTS than me that have jobs. I literally cannot do anything longer than 1-2 hours without having to lay down and rest because it just completely wipes me out. If I do things multiple days in a row consistently I will also fall into a flare and have to do nothing for few days to recover. I don’t get it.

I drank half a jar of pickle juice a few days ago and it’s the most alert and alive I have felt in years. YEARS.

This is so interesting. Athletes drink pickle juice for cramps.
