Ever since you where young you had always been a little different then the other kids. It had started at the age of three. Your mom just thought you where tired for your age your body growing making you sleepy or drowsy all the time. But these things seemed to happen more frequently. Your mom or dad finding you passed out on the floor or outside the No house once they got home from work.
Finally your mom took you to the hospital to get checked out.
"She's got a disorder called Pots disease. Her adrenaline surges uncontrollably making her body jittery and excited as it uses more energy then it has in seconds. It's causing her to pass out and sleep more than normal , the good news is there is medicine she can take for it but it won't make it go away it will just help lower her blood pressure. Make sure she takes a pill a day and monitors her heart rate constantly if it starts to get too high it means your going to have an episode and to prepare yourself for it".
The doctor addressed both you and your mom who simply nodded as her and the doctor spoke going over medication and procedures to follow.
You didn't listen the entire situation was making you anxious which turns out isn't good for your blood pressure because you began to feel light headed. All you could do was think about how this was gonna affect you . Not being able to control when you passed out was going to take a heavy toll on you and it stressed you out....a lot.
The more that time went on the more you adjusted to your new life style. You always took your pill keeping them on you just in case of emergencies. Passing out scared you at first but after a while you got used to it. Your parents bought you a watch that monitored your heart rate and blood pressure at all times , if something began to spike it would send you notifications allowing you to prepare for your episodes.
You had a normal life still just like every other kid you worked and went to school hung out on weekends and did dumb shit with your friends. Specifically a group of friends. Your oldest friend in Hawkins Steve "the hair"Harrington and his heard of nuggets.

Steve knew about your disorder and often knew how to help you in these situations helping lower you to the ground and catching your head as you fell limp. The two of you worked together at family video often just goofing around and stealing movies for the two of you too watch on the weekend.
But recently there had been a few new members added to your little group. Eddie the freak Munson. Dustin met him and couldn't shut up about the guy constantly going on and on about how cool he was to you and Steve. And from what you could tell Steve was jealous which honestly made your heart melt seeing how much he loved the boy not wanting to share him with anyone else.
You where having your normal late night shift with Steve, it was a Friday. School was out for the weekend and you couldn't wait to hang out with your friends. You and Steve where cleaning the counter tops and putting away the returned movies.
