Real estate has provided me with countless opportunities throughout my life! My "WHY" became the driving force behind my decision to transition from being a solo agent to joining a team. It was crucial for me to have support in the office, access to training, and the chance to learn from others' experiences. Let's be honest—who doesn't enjoy camaraderie in an industry that's constantly evolving?

With the recent market and industry challenges, I have grown increasingly concerned for my fellow solo agents. I would love to connect with you over coffee, tacos, or a beer. The tab’s on me! Let's discuss how we can support each other during these times.
😍Considering a career change? Real estate might be the perfect option for you!

Hi! I'm Brittany. 🥰The page creator! It's exciting to see so many people have joined up on here to stay connected. I'm humbled to share a bit about where life has been lately...

It's that time of year where I gear up to head to Colorado for elevation therapy! Being in elevation increases blood volume (acclimating process) and helps to manage symptoms throughout the most triggering season, summer. The heat does amazing things for a cold body but causes so many other issues. I've found elevation is the best medicine for me. I'm noticing lots of heart palpitations, decreased energy, brain fog most days, my eyesight goes in and out, and tachycardia when I stay up too late. These are all my signs to get into the mountains!

What remedies have you found to work best to manage your symptoms??

Hello there! My name is Brittany. I have Dysautonomia and started to page to share my story. I'm a single mother with 4 children. February of 2020 I was dignosed with Reflux Syncope Cardioinhibitory Response and POTS. The electrophysiology of my heart failed to increase heart rate when needed, causing my heart to stop beating, and I would lose consciousness. Through digging into my past, I've learned high stressors caused increase symptoms. Throughout the last three years, I've changed diets, environment, excerise routines, and decreased stressors. In the spring, I travel to Colorado for elevation therapy and have Completely alleviated all ER visits during the summer! This is HUGE!! I still feel symptoms but have learned my body's limits and listened to it's needs.

Having quality of life may mean making massive sacrifices but I promise it's worth it at the end of the day! Please be encouraged!! Keep challenging your doctors and advocating for yourselves! I'm excited you're here!!

YOU are not alone in this fight. What's a struggle, you face every day?

Dysautonomia is an umbrella diagnoses. Through studies I've learned, these sub-diagnosis typically come in pairs. If you have one, you are likely to have another.

What state are you from?

It's been a while since I've posted! Funny story. I happen to run into a medical responder that had responded to one of my 911 calls a few years ago. He was pleasantly excited to see this call wasn't for me. However, after 2 years I must have made an impact if he still remembered me. 😂 It's been about a year since my last elevation experiment. Next week I will be returning to 10,000 feet above sea level to work on a ranch for the weekend! About a month ago I spent 8 days in elevation for a family emergency, so I'm hopeful after a working weekend, my body will gain all the volume it needs to make it through the summer with no episodes!! 🤞 Last year, after elevation therapy, my symptoms were night and day different. I was in the ER only once last year, due to a cardiac failure scare. My legs were swelling up to the point I had dents in my shins. Other than that, no major heart, fainting, or major dizzy spells!!! I'd say elevation for the win!!! So, we're going at it again this year. 😁

You CAN have Dysautonomia and quality of life!! Sharing your story empowers other to share theirs too. Together we can make the difference! 🥰 I'm blessed you're here!

Anyone have experience with John Hopkin's POTS testing/treatment clinic?

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Disordered Eating: Clarifying the Overlap - PubMed 11/27/2021

After a day full of not eating when I did eat I felt bloated, nauseous, and in major pain around my gut area. Normally, I don't feel hungry and on busy days completely forget to eat. Didn't realize there could be a correlating issues with POTS. It's also an overall Dysautonomia issue.

Disclaimer: I've not be diagnosed with any GI conditions. Didn't realize these two could be connected. Great article to read! Important to listen to your body and advocate your unique symptoms to your over seeing Dysautonomia MD!
