Looking for Support from Others with Chronic Illness

Hi everyone, my name is Nicole. And I would like to get to know people with same conditions I do just because sometimes I tend to feel down, and a little bit alone.

Can you help? Connect today

The POTS is terrible for sure. People say the compression socks work but they don’t work for me. I take Midodrine and fludrocortisone for my heart rate. It helps me but everyone is a bit different.

The biggest thing is don’t wear yourself out too early in the day.

Yes, I was taking propranalol but it turns out that I've started to develop some rash, so my doctor told me to stop taking it for now. I use to take midodrin and I was feeling so sick with my stomach. It was horrifying. I allso take pepsid and opramazol for the terible acid reflux. I do where spanks but it started to hurt my stomach, I have a hernia. I have a hiadle hernia.

Have you tried regular infusions? I know those help a lot of people with POTs!
