"Sending u so much love and strength Shaun and to all in the comments struggling with the debilitating, confusing, and lonely symptoms of POTS!" she wrote.
"I got diagnosed with POTS, Sjogrens and Mcas in 2018 and really relate to not wanting your health to be your identity," she said.
According to Healthdirect, POTS is "a health condition that causes dizziness and a fast heartbeat when you stand up, as well as a range of other symptoms. It can make daily activities very difficult."
