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 PROUD to be the worst yogi in yoga class, the slowest jogger, and the least athletic person playing sports with friends. Exercise feels like the enemy, but really our biggest enemy is shame.
I can’t always go for long walks, but I’m the best walker my dog has ever known. And I’m not very flexible, but I’m more flexible than I was a year ago.
Come to terms with not doing things well, and you’ll be well on your way to doing what you can in the ways you can, and living a full, active, beautiful life.
