Today in dysautonomia: had to abort my shower because I couldn't stand up long enough

I tweet things like this because the ways in which I'm disabled are all pretty much invisible, and I think it's important to know that healthy-looking people live with these sorts of problems.

I usually include a medical name for the condition I think is most relevant because otherwise "I couldn't stand up long enough" might be interpreted as "I had a big sesh last night" or something else that I could mitigate.

But it's tricky, because I've been diagnosed with like a dozen things that overlap with each other in many ways, and nobody seems to understand what they really are, or what causes them.

Update: I mowed the lawn. My autonomic system is a land of contrasts 🤷
