MTRJ75 Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 This is a certainly a loaded question because the answer always seems to depend on what I'm feeling in the moment. I'll start with maybe safe and proven exercise methods. If possible, maybe common questions about some of our worst (or most concerning symptoms) answered by experts in the field (since most of us don't have access to doctors who even understand the condition). Maybe also printable information about the condition that we can bring to our doctors that might explain things better than we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knellie Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I agree with the safe and proven exercise methods. I would also like to know some good POTS flare ups remedies/things to make them more tolerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTSius Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I would love to know more about less common treatments. Maybe things that work really really well but for a minority of patients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallieAndToby Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I can't sleep, taking lots of meds and not helping. Also, how do I get blood flow to the brain and retain it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you have said about having seizures and was wondering if it was anything to do with anaesthetic. That's when I got really bad after a operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when I got really bad after a operation No, I took a pill called Jakafi at a very high dose starting out, then lower dose, all in all for 3 months. But I have had problems with Brevital an anathestic, it caused seizures in me as well. Do you know why it does this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p8d Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 @PistolAny and everything Covid as a topic. Experience about people who have had it, vaccine info/reactions, mitigation strategies for the vaccine etc. I think we are all interested in this.

Well it really got bad after cancer treatment, but basically I'm having dystonic / autonomic seizures which means I'm not getting enough cerebral blow flow or circulation in my Brain. I don't know what happened with cancer treatment but I already have a compromised immune system and it really destroyed it even more and I've never recovered. The Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) runs in my family; my aunt has it so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTRJ75 Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 I've been thinking about this whenever someone bumps an older thread. Some of them are five or ten years old and populated by posters I've never seen before. My assumption is that a lot of these people have improved to the point they don't even want to think about this place anymore. Is it possible to seek out recovery stories from some of these people? (I'm choosing to be positive and assume that is the case in most instances.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
