You probably have Dysautonomia if... (a little humor)

Hello group :)
Yesterday as I was packing my little cooler with snacks and water, I thought to myself "geez, I'm like a friggin' 5 year old with all this!"  I'm sure I don't have to tell you it's necessary but it's still kind of crazy to me that I can't go anywhere without these things.  Anyway, it got me thinking about Jeff Foxworthy and his "You might be a redneck if" humor.  My husband loves that schtick because...well because he's a redneck!  I get him the calendar every year.  So I thought it might be fun to do our own version and laugh at ourselves a little bit.

So that's mine... "You probably have Dysautonomia if you have to pack a snack to run down to the store or to the doctor!"  Let's hear yours...

You might have dysautonomia if your mom just bought you a recumbent bike, compression stockings, a cooling vest, and, a mirror, because hey, she's your mom!

Tonyad, had to out loud (because it captures our reality so well)  at your husband nonchalantly finishing desert with friends while you recovered on the floor of the restaurant!

I will add this one.  

"You may have AD  if you visit  more with friends on line and by phone then in person because  #1, it can be done while your are horizontal, and #2, it takes far less energy."
