  1. Did you get your diagnose when you were older or have you had ncs for some time now. Thanks for answering my question. maggie
  2. I am a new member to this site and am wondering if there are any others on this site who was diagnosed with pots at an older age. I started having issues in nov 05 and finally received my disgnoses of pots in oct 06. I am now 55 and am looking for support from anyone who is older dealing with this disorder. I guess it doesn't matter what one's age is but I am interested in this. maggie
  3. Sorry to read that you are having such problems with meds. I also have POTS and have had such problems with meds. Dr.s tried so many I litterally was so sick I ended up in the er twice. To make a long story short I found at the University of Louisville School of Medicine they do a pharmacogenetic testing. In simple terms how your body reacts to meds. After getting the test done I found out I had a liver enzyme problem and any drug that goes through that enzyme I can't take, which includes all beta blockers and ssri. If you want more info the web site is www.pgxlab.com. The doctor that helped though this gave me her personal phone number there at the university and I can call her any time to see if I can take any new med a dr prescribes. Hope this helps. Maggie
