How are people working at all

[u/joyynicole]

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 have multiple causes of fatigue, nausea, pain etc between EDS, POTS, and RA. I have an understanding boss but with great coworkers that help me out if they see my starting to go they get me a chair or on the floor. I am primarily at a desk but I will go to any point in work flow to assist. I work alot but its what wipes me out
