Notgivinup Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I havent been on here for well over a year or so. I just wanted to stop back in to tell you guys that while I had POTS your support was invaluable to me. I've been symptom free for a very long time. I wanted to give some of you hope that it can get better, even go away.I had POTS for three solid years. I don't ever consider myself cured, as I know it can come back at anytime.The medications that seemed to turn the tide for me were 90mg. cymbalta AND klonapin. Almost as soon as I upped my dose of cymbalta I felt better. I can do about 98 percent of the things I used to do. Heat still gets to me a little, and some of my cognitive functions aren't quite what they used to be, but I'll live with those.Please never give up! You can look back at some of my old posts to see what different things I had tried. Peace and prayers go out to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpjd59 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Wow! That is such great news that you are feeling better. It gives all of us who have family members with POTS, or who themselves have POTS, encouragement that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
