Hello 👋🏻 from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺💙🇦🇺 Newly diagnosed after 20 plus years. Your videos are simple, clear, easy to understand and practical. Sending gratitude 🙏 Xx- mum of three.

Hi! hEDS + cadiac symptoms mimicking POTS here. I also am not able to get up right away in the morning, so I also lie around in bed a lot before getting up! I just wanted to second the fairy lights thing: I can't express how nice it is to have fairy lights in the morning! I feel like waking up is always a struggle just because I feel so lousy for the first hour and a half of consciousness, and having fairy lights and some low-intensity music on in the morning can actually put me in a wonderful mood to start the day, even when I feel like an absolute dumpster fire! :) I'd also never thought about the pop sockets being helpful for joint pain in the fingers - I'll go check it out! Thanks for sharing these tips - I know how much energy it takes to make a video, and it's super helpful and much appreciated!

I’ve never thought about pop sockets helping with joint pain, but that’s definitely something I’m going to consider getting! Also, if anyone’s interested in a good bed table. IKEA makes a really cheap one that’s turquoise if you want a cute color.

Audiobooks absolutely save my sanity when I can't do much/anything but want to use a smidge of brain. I loved Red White and Royal Blue and listened to it just a little while ago so it was super fun to see it in your video. Always like hearing how other folks navigate and adapt so thanks for your videos.

Great to see you back uploading videos again Georgina! Whilst I am diagnosed with something completely different to POTS, your videos really helped me deal with my own condition. The prescription certificate video was super helpful! You also inspired me to start my own channel about my condition to help others as there wasn't any other channels on it out there. Keep up the great work :)

I can't believe I've never thought of a bed tray. Such a basic thing, that would make life so much easier 😅❤️

Some authors are now putting their books on RU-vid in audio. I have a PC tablet holder that clamps onto the bed post, so I don't have to hold it. I use ear buds with no leads so I can lay or sit in bed w/o getting tangled.

That library app is a great idea, Georgie! Hope you’re feeling a bit better xxxxxxxx

Great video, thank you so much for sharing. I’m definitely going to get my next pill box in that pop-up style. I have a cable with a dimmer switch on it that reaches to my bed from a floor lamp. I don’t have room on my bedside table for anything but medicines and water, either! I also have times when I’m so sick I can only lie still and can’t look at most screens, but I’ve found I can tolerate e-reader screens with the backlight off. They look just like a page of a book, but you can make the text as big as you like! I have a bedside tablet clamp that holds my e-reader over my head for me, and I get my e-books on Libby through my library. It’s been a lifesaver to get me through the harder times. Best of luck with your last term!

Thank you very much

So helpful Georgina Thankyou.

I have been doing the stay in bed when waking up in the morning. It’s so funny my doctor told me that recommendation a couple days after I saw it from you. I do feel like I need some light in the morning. I think I’m going to get some fairy lights so I can wake up more easily. Thank you so much for that suggestion! Also I wanted to thank you because after seeing your channel I feel so much less alone. I have had autonomic dysfunction since 2019. This may sound terrible but for a long time people and doctors didn’t believe me that I didn’t feel well. Finally I got a new doctor. She is amazing and my neurologist and her agreed I needed autonomic testing. Now I am diagnosed and I have felt very alone. So thank you for sharing your story you have really helped me and I appreciate you.

That pill organiser is beautiful, I need to up my game with my boring grey one 🙈🌈 Hope your deadline season is going as well as poss, lovely!

Not necessarily fairy lights but I definitely think lights to change the ambiance of my room would be a good investment.

Thank you Georgie, great hacks & tips just bought a pop socket 💗

Ooo the lights look fab!

The little hamster in your opening is too cute 🐹 🙆🏻‍♀️. We missed you Georgie!

I used to have the exact same pill bottle! 🤗 ive juststarted vlogging my lupus experience aswell thanks for this !

Thank you so much for sharing. My daughter has just been diagnosed with POTS and your videos have helped me understand the condition better and have shown me how I can support her best. My heart goes out to you when I see you suffering though. I just want to reach out and give you a hug!

I found a case that has a rubberized loop on the back, which for me works better than a pop socket. It is called a Loopy case and I drop my phone so much less now. I mostly have the usual accessories, a heating pad, cane, shower chair and grab bar, something to help me apply lotion to my lower legs and back, a grabber. Have a similar pill case and have the pharmacy use easy open caps which has been wonderful! I have a large backrest I use to sit against on my bed and use my iPad in my lap on a small pillow

Here in the US the Libby and overdrive are connected to the libraries and, I like you, need to listen verses reading and talking while lying down. Thanks for sharing your day with us.

Thank you Georgie for the useful information have a great day and keep going you're doing great in school bye-bye

Great video, thanks! Where did you get your pill box from? I like that it pops open easily.

❤

Hope all is well, Georgie!

Hi Georgina ❤️ I recently bought a Reliefband which has helped me with chronic nausea. It seems like not many people know about it but it’s definitely worth a try too 😌

my popsocket has helped me so much! my parents cant really understand how it helps but it really does. I've also been looking for a good laptop bed table, so thank you

This is so helpful! Thank you for making this video 💕 I have a morning routine where I stay in bed too due to PoTS and check social media/do my makeup. I also have fairy lights but never thought to put them on in the morning what a wonderful idea ✨ Also the bed trays are a lifesaver aren't they! I've used mine so so much 😊

My sister LOVES red white and royal blue and I love it too XD

I use overdrive when I listen to audiobooks. I didn't like to listen to them at first but I love to crochet, and reading and crocheting is hard to do! I can borrow books from our local library. I can't always borrow the book if they don't have the audio but then I do have to read it! BTW, I'm in the states, so yeah.

Hi! Saw you on JJ Time. I bet my daughter would love fairy lights! I keep putting pop sockets on her phone but she manages to pull them off every time! LOL. Thank you for sharing a bit about things that help you.

A little off topic, but im going into the cardiologist and neurologist next week! Ive had symptoms for abt 2 months now and i got REALLY lucky bc my GP actually knows what POTS is and diagnosed me with tachycardia! Ur vids and others vids have really helped me bc i first learned what POTS is from these types of vids ❤️ Hopefully everything will go well and I can get some help,wish me luck!

I love your accent! new subbie- you are adorable! best wishes!

That listening books website is a great suggestion! I have dyspraxia so this will definitely help a lot

I should totally get a medication container like that for keeping track of our daughter's meds. We're constantly asking each other if the other person did her morning/afternoon/evening meds. This box would answer the question for us! And it totally does remind me of Guess Who! 🤣🤣🤣

Georgie!! Just dropping by to say i’m thinking of you lots! 🐹 ❤️

I loved guess who!!! 😂🤓🤓

Keep going Georgie you can do it and you'll graduate yay yay yay love you have a great day😇😊😉🙃🙂😆☺😚🌳🌸💮🏵

Happy Easter

Hey Georgina, I’m just curious as I have a tilt table test next week. I’m terrified because I’ve never actually fainted and the thought that I could really scares me, have you had one ? How did you find it if you have ? X

Really great video I might have to try that trade thing. Do you know of any like special seat cushions I can use because I'm experiencing a lot of pain in my hip and my lower back whenever I sit too long in my wheelchair

you are gorgeous!

My question is - where did you get your study table from please?

I was so excited about listening books but it's only available in the uk, I don't know any French organisations like that sadly

Thanks. The lights are awesome I have the same problem is because my lamps are far from my bed.. I can’t find its links

Hiya great video, talking of audio books, a lot of UK library's have online access to ebooks and audio books too. Here is the blog post I wrote about how to access it aspacetoheal.wordpress.com/2016/02/19/online-library-access/ basically short version is, if you have a library card, search .gov website for art and leasure which should get you to library link, and you can use the two options u mention libby or the one u said, soz my mind mush. you go to your local authority page for librarys, type in your library card info and you can read ebooks and audio books that way. If you have disabilites so can't access the library directly, some offer Home library service but check with your local authority as to what is available where u are. Hope this is of help to someone. I too love an audio book when the pain gets too much but u still want to listen to something soothing. stay safe and thanks for your videos.

Oh I remember guess how

What kind of table is that?

I’m having a really rough pots day i can barley stand it feels like my brain stem is burning too so that dosent make it any better for me

Aren’t the gums in your mouth soft tissue . How can braces help without them moving back ?

Your feet are very beautiful to see them put on stockings
