Today I got exactly what I needed. I have POTS and my doctor and some of my buddies with POTS recommended me to get a wheelchair. Insurance kept going back and forth on coverage so I got a pretty decent used one from eBay. I kept telling myself, that I’m a p*ssy and it’s all in my head, my POTS. Today I walked a large parking lots length and immediately after did house work and hung up some decor. Not even 30 minutes later I passed out, vomited and then felt completely out of it. My wheelchair helps me get around and do chores sitting which makes me wheel a whole lot better compared to the alternative. Long story short it’s okay to use mobility Aids.
