Pistol Posted October 27, 2018 Report Posted October 27, 2018 Hi - as many of you may recall in September I had a port implanted and now am receiving weekly infusions of LR at home. I get 1 l LR over 8 hours every Thursday and more as needed. Well - I had 3 colonoscopies in my life and all of them required hospitalizations - either after ( for seizures and syncope and tachycardia and hypertension ) or before ( to prevent the above from occurring and to receive IV fluids during the prep ). Well - I infused 3 liters over the entire 24 hours before the procedure and - although quite unable to stand after the prep - made it with flying colors!!! No seizures during or syncope after the procedure. As a matter of fact I WALKED out and ate in a restaurant afterwards! ( A feat I was not even able to do without a colonoscopy before the fluids! ). All in all I have been feeling so much better, more energy and ability to be active and even get out of the house than ever before!!!!! I wanted to share this first victory with everyone who is seeking support for getting IV fluids for POTS. And I will keep posting these improvements to give testimony to the miraculous effects of IV therapy for some cases of POTS. Quote
jklass44 Posted October 27, 2018 Report Posted October 27, 2018 So glad to hear that it’s working for you! If I remember correctly, you fought hard to get that port, so it must feel great that it and the IV therapy is helping you to be well and even increasing your energy levels. A victory indeed!! Quote
