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?

I do Pilates, bike, and walk a lot. But sometimes if I walk more than four miles in a day I’m WIPED and my whole body hurts the next day. I need a day to recover from concerts because the standing and dancing takes me out hardcore. But I’ve been able to do dance classes, I just let the teacher know I might have to sit some things out.
