Have any of you whose POTS hasn't responded to other treatments tried erythropoietin? If not, why not?


Recommended Posts

And if you have, what were the results? I'm wondering because I see it mentioned as a treatment on several POTS websilike this one https://myheart.net/pots-syndrome/treatments/ , but I don't know if I ever heard of anyone trying it? I know it's used illegally by athletes, but it doesn't seem inherently more dangerous than other medically administered treatments. Thank you

  I remember people posting about EPO from time to time on this forum when I first joined 15 years ago.  It doesn't come up much anymore.  I know a little about EPO because a while back my mom was on it for anemia.  After a few years of taking it, the doctor took her off of it after some research re risks was published.  So I think it would be important to think through with your doctor.
