I have been going to many doctors and have had symptoms for about three years. I'm in tenth grade. At first I missed a lot of school, but not enough to where I couldn't catch up. Then I started missing more as my symptoms got worse and my normally good grades started going way down. Now I barely ever make it in to school for one class in the afternoon and I am failing all my classes. I am a perfectionist and I used to get straight A's so this is really hard for me. I wan't to start homebound schooling but I can't until I get an actual diagnosis from my cardio (TTT next week), and even then I can't do all homebound. My school has made all of this very difficult for me, they don't know what POTS is exactly and they act like i'm skipping school. How am I supposed to come to school when I can't walk down the hallway? How do you start homebound schooling, what's it like? Are there any other options? I know there are different rules for different places regarding school but I was just wondering...
