My PCP appointment went exactly like I wanted it to. She can't give an official diagnosis (a neurologist has to) but she is calling my physical illness POTS for now. This is all insurance pending, but she sent in a referral for a second opinion with a different neurologist and sent in a referral for IV fluids once a week. Fingers crossed these both are approved!

I wonder how much the fluids cost.

She also wrote me a doctor's note saying I can't perform a pretty big task I am usually in charge of planning/running at school. My boss had said I didn't need to do it this year, but he hasn't told me who would replace me, so I wanted this as a friendly reminder to him that I can't do it. Like many people, he doesn't want to hear/accept that I am sicker than I look and that this is a life long thing so this doctor's note will hopefully also help with this issue. Thankfully, my coworkers completely believe me and have been SUPER supportive.

I've added zinc to my daily regimen to try and get rid of these cold symptoms.
