Been a while, which is good, but...

So I had been doing well. Well, POTS wise at least. I developed migraines which we are testing for and seeing a neurologist for (apparently a normal sign of POTS). I am taking Imatrex for the bad ones which is very helpful, but I just started Topamax to try to prevent them (verdict is still out on that). I basically have a headache everyday of whatever level which is manageable, but sucks.

As icky as it is to talk about, for those of you who have POTS who read this, I feel I should mention that my body temp issues are out of control right now. Not sure if its the weather or what, but if you are experiencing the same thing, ur not alone. Hot flashes are in full swing in fall!

I'm getting a serious case of the stir crazies... I haven't left the house for anything other than doctors with the one exception of a few hours last Saturday for a wonderful apple and pumpkin picking trip. I am very glad I got to do that since I don't think I'll be able to do any of the other things I wanted to do this fall and most of them have an end date. The PA Renn Faire, Pennhurst Asylum Haunted House (friends work here), Eastern State Penn Haunted House (I used to work here), The Mummy Exhibit at the Franklin Institute, to name the tops on the list. I was supposed to go to two of them this weekend, but no one wanted to go with me. That seems to be a new issue for me, I feel like going out, but don't feel up to going out alone, and no one wants to or has time to do things with me. Go figure, people have lives. :op

Well here are a few pics from my day with the apples and pumpkins. :)

 Riding to the orchard... 

ps. Can you tell I was having a hot flash? A tank top on a 56 degree day? ha!

And the orchard...
