Roxy Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hi I am new to this forum, but have had pots and ncs for 10+ years. We moved to Las Vegas NV recently and am having a hard time finding any doctors in the area. I was also wondering if anyone has had any success with a cooling vest? My other problem is I seem to be allergic to everything, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahA33 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 hi roxy, welcome to DINET. Here is a link our physician's list. http://dinet.org/index.php/physician-list Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thank you SarahA33 I checked the list just now but no one listed for NV, I am in the military medical system, so before they will let/send me anywhere but Las Vegas I have to have proof that no doctors treat, diagnose pots or ncs in my area. I have been calling neurologist down the line in the phone book and already called the local hospitals but no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahA33 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 roxy, I believe there is a branch of the Cleveland clinic in Las Vegas. You may want to call both their cardiology and neurology dept. And ask if any doctors specialize in autonomic disorders. also, local universities may offer testing. I'll try to see if I can find any information. Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Just checked on Las Vegas branch and they treat MS, Parkinson's, Huntington's, Alzheimer's, TBI, and Dementia. Will keep looking, thank you for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 May not be too helpful but the university of utah a has a neurologist that specializes in dysautonomia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thank you for the help I am checking on the doctors who do the TTT and also checking on out of state doctors. It is beginning to look like they will have to send me out of state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corina Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Good luck in finding a good doctor Roxy! I have heard from other members that cooling vests can be really helpful. I was in Las Vegas several years ago and boy it was HOT!!! This is what I copied and pasted for you from our "What Helps"section (to be found on our main website): Cooling devices can help POTS patients. Cool Sport* sells personal body cooling vests that may help patients tolerate hot environments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
