My EDS/POTS LIFE HACKS [and FAILS]

Today I'm sharing my tips, tricks, and "life hacks" that help me manage the symptoms of my Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), as well as the "fails," or things that didn't work for me. These are just the things that have worked for me personally, and nothing in this video is to be taken as medical advice or used in place of medical advice, and you should always consult with your physician. I packed a lot of information into this video, so I've included the time stamps below (and in the pinned comment) so you can quickly find what you're looking for. Scroll down for links to the products mentioned in this video. Some are affiliate links, some are not. You're not charged more or less either way. :) TIMESTAMPS: 1:19 Mattress and pillows 3:55 Clothing and undergarments 5:56 2-minute hair hack 7:57 Meds & supplements 9:45 Heat therapy 10:21 Compression socks and electrolytes 12:43 Car hacks 13:18 Braces and splints 18:56 Mobility aids 23:25 ASMR 26:00 Cooking and food prep 27:19 Weighted blanket 27:46 Bedtime routine LINKS: Therapeutica pillow: https://amzn.to/2YGu85I Knee pillow: https://amzn.to/2YI7v0S Knee sleeve cushion: https://amzn.to/2YHynxW Bras: https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/aerie/bral... https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/aerie/bral...
