I unfortunately was just diagnosed with POTS from a clinic here in Arizona. It's apparently been affecting my life for a long time and I have had a lot of troubles with coping due to it. The recent move to the state caused a change that made my symptoms more prevalent and I struggled through high school dealing with fainting sessions and sever fatigue because of it.

I'm only half way through my senior year and it's causing some major stress issues due to the fact it's limiting my life in all sorts of ways now. I can't say I'm glad that you have this as I wouldn't wish it on anyone but you do have my greatest sympathies.

Try looking into compression socks, like the sports brands, as my doctor said that it can help blood flow and thus reduce some issues. As for a question, have you figured anyway of coping with the effects of the disease and if so what are they?

Edit: I heard someone mention the Mayo Clinic and I felt the need to say that it's where I am going. They're amazingly helpful and the doctors know exactly what they need to do, and with the financial aid services they provide it's been a lot easier on my parents who don't make top dollar. I'd recommend anyone to go there for problems they're experiencing, even if it's not specifically POTS.
