I’ve been doing savory oatmeal for breakfast! It’s salty for an early boost for POTS, and with quick oats I can just dump things in a bowl and microwave for a couple minutes (low spoons for CFS). Still working on collecting things I can add, like jarred sliced mushrooms and asking my partner to boil lots of eggs to keep on hand in the fridge.
I don’t have the energy to cook or make most meals, so I’m usually just helping my partner with ideas. It’s exciting to be able to come up with ideas and actually get to execute them.
Yeah, at least for types associated with low blood volume! I’ve seen some folks talk about taking a salt tablet and drinking water before they even get out of bed, but somehow I’ve never really managed to make that part of my morning routine. I do better with salty food and electrolyte drinks (Normalyte).
