Nicole Spencer, 24, a medical student who suffers from Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), prepares to record a video for her Instagram account, at her apartment in Syracuse, New York, U.S. May 8, 2022. For Spencer, apps like Instagram and TikTok provide a bridge to meeting new friends because her conditions rapidly deplete her energy and can make it painful to walk. "I don’t go out. I don’t get as much social time and I don’t make as many friends" she said. REUTERS/Magali Druscovich
