I’m Daniela I have been diagnosed with several chronic illnesses. I look normal, I do things, have a job and go on vacations, but inside I'm sick. I live with several chronic illnesses and they affect my daily life. I am in constant pain and struggle with brain fog. Although I'm constantly looking for new doctors, new treatments and solutions I have also accepted my illnesses and do not let them define me. In this channel, I share a little bit of everything. Information about my conditions, my travels, my dreams, my journey, my life. This channel is about life through chronic illness lenses. Come and join me and see what I'm up to lately.

I commented on a post and you advised to watch this . I am a young kid who is very active and competitive in sports . I know that this is going to be a difficult journey with gym class and me being very active but your videos are helping me learn more about it. I also love the feel of adrenaline rush and just chaos but I was fainting regularly . Hopefully this will help

I've had POTS for 17 years and the only thing that helps is fludrocortisone, salt pills, and lots of drinks like Gatorade zero. I recently started jogging so we will see if that helps ! This was a well made video!

Thank you for your video! I’m in the process of working with my doctors, to figure out if I have POTS. It’s looking that way but have a 6 month wait for my scheduled table tilt test. I guess it’s a popular test these days. Stress test next week and all other cardio tests done. They’ve ruled out heart and lung problems. I have Multiple Sclerosis (2007), Fibromyalgia (2010), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (2010), Chronic Pain (2010), Chronic Migraines (2008), Sleep Apnea (2011), and recent spinal fusion.
I’d love to hear your journey on your POTS symptoms and diagnose, when you can. Thanks again! Take care 💜

Thank you so much for doing this video so much detail I loved it. I would love to hear your story and your tips and tricks. I am in the process of a possible diagnosis and I am very anxious and scared. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at the start of this year and I suffer from chronic pelvic pain endo ect (I have surgery coming up also and I am high risk) and I am scared because it seems to be more illnesses coming up and mentally I can barely deal with what is going on now.❤❤

Hello, could you ask me a question, is it possible for pots to cause poor digestion, hypochlorhydria, shortness of breath even at rest? Sorry for the English, as I'm from Brazil.

Was just watching as educational purposes. Then as I watched it longer, I am now like "uh oh...". These are my mysterious symptoms that my fibro can't explain 🥲 Guess another doctor appointment and fun conversation will be happening... I feel like all these random POTS, fibro, and other weird sounding disorders are definitely all linked yet the doctors just not put their mind into this!
