Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disorder that can make someone feel faint or dizzy. It happens when the autonomic nervous system doesn't work as it should. The autonomic nervous system is the body's "autopilot" system, controlling things like heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing.

1x Super Soft Rabbit (60cm toes to tips of ears)
1x Sturdy Totebag (39cm x 32cm)
Symbolism:
Salt Symbol on the bottom of the feet for increase salt need
Swirls in eyes for fatigue and vision problems
blue paws for shaking and temperature problems
heart symbol for heart palpations and other heart irregularities
IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding the design of our mental health-related Plushie Dreadfuls. We take the topics of mental health and mental health awareness seriously. That's why our design team only creates plushies related to mental health issues with which they have direct experience. In cases where our team does not have direct experience, we assemble an external team of experts to help guide our creative process. In addition, we use Crowd Design to engage a wide range of voices via platforms like Instagram and Facebook. We gather and respond to feedback from our audience - many of whom have direct experience with the mental health issues we're exploring. And while we strive to represent as many aspects of a particular mental health issue as possible while avoiding stereotypical symptoms, we hope you understand that plush toys as an artistic medium do limit the full expression of a particular issue to those things that can be crafted in fabric and stitching.

This guy looks so much more like what i was hoping to see as you get into my illnesses! this guy looks like the other rabbits, soft, sweet, emotional. (I worte an unhappy comment on your hEDS creature).
I would love both more imaging of symptoms and more description of symptoms, as dysautonomia (POTS is the most recognized one) impacts SOOO much more than heart. our autonmic nervous systems control oALL our body's systems. my dysautonomia impats my eyesight, my "not migraines", my digestive tract, my body's temp regulation system, blood flow to various partso my body; horrible brain fog; even my voice changes as my ability to manage my vocal chords is impacted. my fine motor controls are impacted and so much.

Represents Me!
It’s so nice to have an object that represents not only how I feel, but demonstrates to others how POTS affects the body. It’s a great teaching tool, but more importantly I love having a stuffed animal that shows who I am and how my body works on the inside. I am so happy I made this purchase. I can not wait until the EDS bunny is released so I can demonstrate the relationship between the two to others. I wish there was a Mast Cell Activation syndrome bunny so I could show people the common comorbidities!

So thankful to be seen!
This little guy just showed up in my mailbox today and I couldn't be any happier!! This bunny is INCREDIBLY soft and definitely exhibits the major symptoms of having POTS. I am absolutely in love with this bunny. So well made and the cutest thing ever! It's going to make a great travel buddy :)
I struggle a lot to describe how POTS affects me but lately I’ve just been showing people who ask this bunny and they seem to understand a lot easier. All of my buns make me feel more understood, and more like I’m a part of a community and I appreciate that a lot

POTS and my Plushie Friend
I love how this Bun Bun is designed from the colors to the softness. I named her Anastasia and she helps me through my POTS episodes. I love the calming tactile sensation of her fur when I’m afraid-because having an episode is scary. I Adore her!
