Jacquie802 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi, I have been sick for about a week now. I am wondering if we stay sicker longer than a person w/o POTS??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belinda Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Jacquie-I have had coold symptoms for almost a week too. I feel wiped out. Must be a normal thing with POTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baby_boy Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 So im not the only one? I had mine boxing day and still cant shift it. I have a stuffy nose and my throat has a constant tickle. Forgot to mention i find it hard to sneeze 4 some reason so my eyes end up crying constantly. Lets hope i dont get a chest infection.

Eli6596 Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Yes, I know what you mean. Everytime I get even a little cold, it drags on for weeks. I often start feeling worsening of the POTS BEFORE the cold symptoms even hit me! Anyone else notice this? The cold symptoms like congestion, sneezing, coughing etc. are nothing compared to the misery of the worsening of the POTS symptoms. People without POTS or some other chronic illness don't know how lucky they are JUST to have the cold symptoms themselves. I started avoiding shaking hands in mass every sunday, and I avoided a cold this christmas season (knock on wood!). Hope all of you get over your colds/flu quickly. I feel for you.Karyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I almost never get colds. It's about the only thing I don't suffer with anymore, however when I do get one, it hangs on forever....I do find that anything I get really wreaks havoc with my body. morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
