summer Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 A friend of mine has asked me to give him something to read about POTS. He has no medical background and would be swamped by some of the articles we refer to here. Does anyone have any info that they share with friends that explains POTS fairly simply (if that is even possible!!). The fact that someone is asking me is great, so I want to give him something that will really make sense to him and help him understand. I don't want to overwelm him with something written for a physician. Any suggestions?Thanks,Summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EarthMother Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 For a visual reference, I did a short YouTube last fall so that people can use it to show their family and friends. It gives a little bit of insight with live graphics that may help bridge the gap of what goes on for us behind the scenes so to speak.

tinkerbella Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi Summer and Gayla, http://home.att.net/~potsweb/POTS.htmlI must get your book as soon as my money situation settles down or when my ship comes in. That's what my mom used to say. Then my dad would say, but you live to far from the ocean. lol! I'm trying to hold on to my home with this economy. it's hard being disabled and living alone, well, my dog won't go get a job, I think he's lazy. Anyway, I sent the above article to my doctor as it was a patient's view. You may have already seen it it came up in a google search one day. Has lots of links at the end.Hope it helps.Blessings and Love~BellaMia~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddm1960 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi Mother, that's the first video I watched after I was DX'ed and to date I have never found anything better. Thank you very much for making it and good luck in feeling better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
