Prosciutto-Wrapped Melon with Mint

How my symptoms showed up

• POTS: heart rate felt jumpy rather than low, with that uncomfortable internal buzz you get when you’re under-fueled but overstimulated

• Migraine: faint nausea and smell sensitivity, no head pain yet but a clear warning phase

• Lupus: not pain-heavy, but that washed-out fatigue where everything feels harder than it should

Disorder safety check

Condition	Verdict	Notes
POTS	Helpful	Salt + hydration without heaviness
Lupus	Safe	Light, non-inflammatory
Vestibular migraine	Cautious but okay	Mint and melon tolerated pre-pain

Ingredients (1 serving)

• Ripe melon (cantaloupe or similar), sliced into wedges

• Thinly sliced prosciutto

• Fresh mint leaves

• Optional: olive oil or black pepper

How I made it

1. Prep the melon

   Slice melon into firm wedges, removing seeds and rind. Keep chilled until assembling.

2. Wrap

   Gently wrap each wedge with prosciutto, not too tightly - it should drape, not constrict.

3. Add mint

   Tuck a few fresh mint leaves between the melon and prosciutto so the aroma stays subtle.

4. Finish

   Arrange on a plate. Add a light drizzle of olive oil or a crack of black pepper if tolerated.
