Advice & Tips: I did have to take a break from running because I developed osteomyelitis and had surgery to remove a joint in my toe. All healed up now and back on track. Nothing else helps my POTS but exercise.

Advice & Tips: I only stopped because the track I run on is outdoors, and it has snowed, so unless I convince somebody to shovel it clear, running season is over for me. I'll start back up in the spring. I have to run on tracks because they have an even surface, and the lane markings seem to help with my balance as well. It's strange, but sometimes I would run smoothly, but could barely walk! I don't like the indoor tracks because I get overheated; on the outdoor track I can run at night, when it is cool outside.
