You know you have dysautonomia when...

This is a blog for those of us with chronic conditions based on, but not limited to, dysautonomia. It's a place to sort of look and laugh at your symptoms rather than feeling lost and hopeless. Healthy days to all! The ask box is always open and I hope to be submitting pictures and text soon. Just need more followers, so tell all your POTSie friends! :]
