Welcome To Francessca's Blog~

Life with P.O.T.S.,Ehlers Danos, Dysautonomia or any chronic illness under the autonomic umbrella is not easy to live with. Explore with me what it's like to live life with P.O.T.S.and Hypermobility Syndrome. I will talk about the highs and lows of these debilitating diseases. As an only child, fanatasy and acting was always part of my life growing up. I didn't have brothers and sisters so sometimes my dolls were my audience when I sang or put on a show for my Mom. So,why not use Dizzy Dabee as my alter ego when I can not post. Sometimes I won't be able to posts and that's when Dizzy Dabee will step in and give me a helping hand. Hope you enjoy my blog!

About Me

My name is Francessca. I was diagnosed with POTS in 2007. It wasn't so bad in the beginning but then I broke my ankle in December 2009. In February 2010 I had surgery on that ankle to remove a bone fragment (in the Os Trigunum) that was causing pain every time the ligament would rub against it. After that surgery my whole world began to spiral out of control and I went into a black pit called P.O.T.S. 

It's been over a year since my surgery and I am still trying to climb out of that hole. It has been very difficult this past year. I have missed school,and events, as well as other important milestones that I should have been able to experience. P.O.T.S. has claimed my body but I refuse to allow it to claim my life.

With P.O.T.S. it's been a slow agonizing climb but I am determined to beat this disease and keep "ME" in the process.
