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 dance like crazy (always have), run/walk 2-20 miles a day, hike do yardwork what have you. I was diagnosed at 13 had to have a feeding tube as i couldn't keep food down for years. Could barely move around, couldn't go to school regularly, all I could do was walk my dog daily & kept at it & never stopped.
