▲ 67 r/POTS

So I was diagnosed with POTS and EDS about 2 years ago now and my mom was there when it happened but still doesn't think it is a real thing that affects my life. Whenever I tell her that I need a sec because I am so light headed she tells me to suck it up, or when I say something about my joints bothering me she says I'm to young for joint pain. However my younger brother as asthma and gets treated like a prince because of it. It has gotten to the point she has watched me have fainting spells and she tells me to stop doing so dramatic. There are days I can't move because I am in so much pain or I just feel so sick but I have to get up and go to school where I have to walk up and down many flights of stairs and then proceeded to have fainting spells. I have woken up in the common area and was crying because I hadn't realized I had fainted. I told my mom and she just told me I was being overdramatic. I don't know what to do anymore.

LMK if yall have any ideas
