Blog of the Week July 27

This week I want introduce you to Teresa from Too Many Heartbeats.

Teresa has an amazing blog about dealing with Dysautonomia. She is a wonderful Christan women. Let's pray for her as she works through this disease and may the Lord heal her of this disease.  Please check her blog out and follow her on Twitter and Facebook. Here is some facts about Teresa and her blog.


1. Please tell me a little about yourself.

My name is Teresa and I am 41 years old. I am a southern gal who lives in Georgia and I have been married almost 20 years to my very best friend, the man whom I believe the Lord created just for me! I am a Mom to 3 beautiful daughters and a Mimi to 2 adorable grandsons. We have 2 'furbabies' (Sadee, a 4 y/o black lab mix and Casper, a 1 y/o black Pomeranian) who keep me company and make me feel safe during the times when I am at home alone. I absolutely love spending time with the Lord and with my family.

In 2007, I became very ill and was eventually diagnosed with a very rare and serious neurovascular disease called Dysautonomia with Reflex Syncope (loss of consciousness/fainting). It is also sometimes referred to as POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). This disease has left me 100% disabled, home bound and bedridden. It is a very difficult disease to explain but I have written extensively about it on my blog for those who are interested.

Some of my favorite activities are blogging, interior decor/design, buying and selling on Craig's List and eBay, reading and watching TV. I also enjoy the challenge of being frugal and living a life without the use of any credit (except our mortgage). It really CAN be done! Our family is living proof! We ♥ Dave Ramsey! Before I became sick, one of my most favorite activities was watching my 2 youngest daughters participate in all their high school band activities. I also enjoyed serving with a very large Christian Missions/Outreach Organization as their Short-term Medical Missions Coordinator. I hope to get back to those one day.

2. What leads you to blog and how long have you been blogging?
I just celebrated my 1 year 'blogoversary' on July 8th, 2010!!

My blog is a diary of sorts where I share about my life and personal walk with Christ as I deal with this very debilitating illness. The main reason I decided to blog was so that I could educate others about Dysautonomia and help spread awareness about it. Many people have symptoms of the disease, and may even suspect they have it, but for many, it takes years and years to get the correct diagnosis. I hope my blog (with all the information and resources I have provided) will help answer some of the questions people might have about the illness AND, more importantly, I pray that it will give them a sense of hope!!

3. What is your blog about?
I answered that in #2, I believe.

4. Do you have any other blogs you author? Please tell me about them.
No, not at this time


5. Anything else you would like to share with me ?
I can't think of anything except to say thank you so very much for inviting me to be part of your amazing blog! You are truly a very sweet lady.
