Last year my friends wanted to go to this live music event at a club. I rarely go clubbing due to pacing and saving energy for work. But I prepared, lots of salt, water, oxygen, compression before. And we head to the club. As soon as we walk in the door I see a girl faint and I run over to her. I recognized it immediately. I always keep salt packets in my bag and I asked her friend “does she need salt?” And her friend responded confused “um I don’t think so, she has a pretty sensitive stomach so I don’t think she’d want that” just a little after she wakes up and I help her sit up a little I had gotten her water and I asked again “do you need salt?” And she just got these wide eyes of surprise and relief “you have salt?!” Haha it’s was so good “yah I do, I have POTS so I always have it on me”
Turns out she was newly diagnosed and didn’t keep salt on her, she was so grateful and it was such a cute little moment to be connected with a complete stranger. All my friends and her just watching us confused while we hugged and laughed.

Crappy living with this most of the time but grateful for little moments like that, having connection and understanding with people that really get it. Being able to help each other out.
