The Enact Blog: Knowledge, Care, Community
POTS is a complex, often invisible autonomic disorder surrounded by myths, and understanding the facts helps reduce stigma, improve support, and better reflect the real experiences of those living with it.
Living with POTS can feel isolating and invalidating, but your experience is real, your voice matters, and a supportive community exists to help you feel understood, connected, and less alone.
Balancing work, social life, and POTS symptoms is challenging, but it is possible with intentional planning and proactive support.
The new year is an opportunity to build simple, supportive habits that work with the nervous system rather than against it. Small changes greater stability and improved daily function over time.
The holiday season can bring hidden triggers for people living with dysautonomia and POTS, from dehydration and travel to large meals and sensory overload. With mindful pacing, hydration, and symptom support, patients can reduce flares and enjoy the season more comfortably.
