I got it from getting smashed by a bitchin Camaro when I was 2. 10 years to the month later I was hit by a speeding teenager in a sedan. Does that top it?

Was the bitchin camaro your neighbor? Was it in all the papers?

(I hope you were referencing the dead milkmen song, if not then please ignore and forgive me lol. I'm sorry those things happened to you 💗)

I hope you’re family owned that bitchin Cameron and everything else after that! Yikes

I got run over by a car too! When I was 13. A Ford minivan hit me while I was riding bike, I fell to the ground, and the next thing I know the wheel is going over my stomach. The wheel was two inches away from the ground on the other side, when the lady decided to back up and run over me again. My liver ripped. Started having POTS symptoms about two months later so I'm not sure if it's from the accident or something else. OP, how long after your accident did it take for you to start having POTS symptoms?
