Hi, I recently discovered this site and have found it so helpful to be able to hear how others are coping, their symptoms etc. I was DXed with POTs early last year. For the last year I?ve been feeling better at least some of the time, but it seems to go in cycles. I start to feel better for a while, and my symptoms are more minimal in that I can go to uni for a 2 hour lecture 2-3 times a week. Then I go through bad spells when I can?t do anything at all. I?ve noticed that before I start to get really sick and go through bad ?POTs spells?, for the days, even a week beforehand I?ll feel wired. I?ll be energetic and even hyper at one minute and paralysed with fear the next, but always wired. Does anyone else have these symptoms, and if so, is there anyway to alleviate them, and maybe even stop me from having the ?POTs spell? that follows? Any ideas would be very helpful, I?ll run them past my drs of course, but as neither are POTs experts ? I don?t know of any POTs experts in Sydney (Australia) ? any suggestions that I can bring to the table would be much appreciated. Cath
