Half-Time Show: What Do You Dream? With L. A. Sprague
What if the loudest voice questioning your pain is your own? We open the Halftime Q&A with a brave question—how to tell if you’re exaggerating—and get honest about self-trust, integrity, and the quiet courage of listening to your body. From there, we tackle the push-or-rest dilemma with a practical day-to-day approach that respects both progress and limits, and we share simple scripts that help friends ask about illness without making us defend our reality.
We also define what “chronic” really means and why that definition shapes treatment plans, expectations, and mental health. L. A. shares her POTS journey, including the role of ivabradine and midodrine, hydration and electrolytes, compression, and the steady power of sleep and gentle exercise. Along the way, she talks about dreams that changed—missions work, music tours—and the new purpose that grew in their place: creating a space where believers with chronic illness can be seen, heard, and encouraged.
Money and work get candid attention too. We talk reduced hours, insurance worries, and medical bills, naming both the fear and the discipline it takes to budget well. Finally, we sit with the relief and grief of diagnosis—the validation that clears a path forward and the heartbreak of a life you didn’t choose. If you’ve wrestled with self-doubt, wondered how to support someone you love, or needed practical POTS management tips wrapped in faith and realism, this one meets you where you are.
