puppylove Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Oh my gosh i am so happy right now I could cry or something!!!!! I just got back from my appointment with Dr. Abdallah and he is the best doctor ever. He did different tests on me than my other cardio and he explained the results and what my body was doing to make me have these symptoms. I finally felt like every word my parents and I said really turely mattered and he cared and he knew it was not anxiety ! He said that several of the medicines my other cardio put me on are not beneficial and they are infact harmful to teens with POTS. He said I need full homebound schooling for now and he will get it for me. And my favorite part was when he looked me right in the eyes and said I will make you feel better. No doctor has ever said that to me before!! My parents are also estatic. It's like the light bulb has gone off and every thing has clicked in to place!

kclynn Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I have WAITING to hear how things went. I KNEW Dr. A would help you, he is so wonderful. My son saw him and he is the one who put him on meds that got him back on his feet, literally. I think you live with in a reasonable distance from him and that will help you work with him closer than us who live in the middle of the country. So happy you found him. Did you ever join Dynakids? I know there are a bunch of kids just like yourself and I can tell you would love the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC101 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 This is my hardship right now, on my journey to finding a doctor that truly understands. You just added a little bit more hope to my cup. So excited for you!! Congratulations! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppylove Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 He is at The Childrens Heart Institute. It is in Reston VA. He is so awesome!! I was starting to lose hope in all doctors until I went to him. In two days I am going back to have a test done and then I'm going to have his version of a TTT.

CC101 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 You know, I have a Children's Institute around here that had someone that dealt with POTS & I never took the moment to think that I could get in a see him or her. I should maybe look into that, thank you for your insight & Congrats again & Best of luck to you! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
