Are you having success at recognizing the emotions connected to your pain? If you have, how do these emotions make you feel? I think with two emotions I got pretty well in tracking them down. Fear - it creates an immediate fatigue, anger - most of the times I get migraine after I get angry...

Ow thank you so much, this is great, exactly what I need !! Going to print it out and hang on the wall :)

When was the last time you exercised or did another physical activity? About a month ago What was this activity? Yoga - my sport activities are selected by the horizontal criteria (meaning how laid down i can be while doing them, so the choice of such sports is not very broad) How did it...

Three things that make me feel angry are: 1 - Since POTS started I think it's when the closest ones forget/disregard how much effort in takes me to do anything. 2 - When the closest ones put me off and I lose the last strength that I just hardly could gather within myself to do anything. 3 -...
