Do you find that the weather impacts your symptoms? Yeah, I think when it's hot, you tend to find, for myself as well, because I don't have POTS, but I do have POTS-like symptoms. So even though I'm not diagnosed and I have had the testing, I don't reach the level to actually before diagnosis. But in terms of the symptoms I do have, I do get very, very dizzy. So in terms of heat and weather, that that will impact on myself. And I find that my fatigue level are a lot worse joint pain wise. It doesn't really tend to flare up too much for myself, like it does with other EDS sufferers, but with myself, it doesn't. But more with me, it just really, really affects why the dizziness and the fatigue levels that I get.
