Sarah from FL on life after COVID/POTS/MCAS

Sarah loved her life as a busy mom an accomplished professional dog groomer, but after COVID left her with new symptoms suggestive of the 'Trifecta' (POTS, MCAS, hEDS) she is needing to make a new game plan....one that doesn't involve so many hours of standing and triggering fragrances. In this episode she discusses what she went through to get a diagnosis and how -- with the help of supportive family -- she is working through the challenges to design a new lifestyle.
