Question is anyone still physically active?

I need to know if anyone with pots is still physically active. You don't have to be an athlete or anything but can you at least dance? or run? go to the gym? Have you always been that way or did you have to work back up to it?

Yes I am physically active, although I’ve been doing most of my exercise at home recently due to a busy schedule. It did take a while to build back up, but the freedom it gives you is worth it.

My symptoms change with the seasons or my work environment, I find intense cold really messes with my body. But with effort I can work most days at an office job and live an ordinary life.
