baja170 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Has anyone just gone to Vanderbilt for a diganostic work up for POTS and not gone through their research protocol? I'm on a lot of meds, most of which I cannot stop, and don't know if they'll accept me just for a work up if I don't fit their research protocol. I sent in my application this week, I'll let you know what happens.Also, do they do the same kind of tests that Mayo does (sweat test, etc...)?

Dizzy Dame Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 You can go just for an outpatient appointment. That's what I was originally scheduled for and while I was there they offered me to join the inpatient med trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukkychrm42 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Yeah, the application bit is for the research protocol. You can contact the center and try to get an appointment. Like she said, they might ask you if you want to stay and do the research part, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Dame Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 However, there may be a university closer to you who specializes in Autonomic Dysfunction. Vandy is really more known on this forum for their Med trials. You might want to do some research before committing to travel so far. I'm not discouraging you from going to Vandy, I just wonder if there are other options for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
