    These are all great questions and its unclear for many of them.

    Most like me assume it will do the opposite.

    Haha. Yes I've got a collection of about twenty potsies who with pots do very well on old Sudafed. Thanks for sharing.

    thought id bump - a very helpful thread

    I find fasting seems to improve my symptoms.
  6. ramakentesh
    yes it definately can for some. seems pretty unpredictable

    essential hypertension of a persistent nature might give a clue...
  8. ramakentesh
    Yes. It also just makes me feel better too.

    Sounds like a bad one. Volume loading via ORS or saline ivs could be helpful. Alternatively you might consider talking to your doc about increasing dose of florinef? I know that lying at night feeling. It *****. a few times licorice tea early in a flare can short circuit it somehow.

    I'll believe in leaky gut when someone can tell me how food matter leaking into a person's blood stream doesn't result in septicemia and when they explain how these particles cross the blood brain barrier... the gut is involved but its probably different.

    You can add: Phenylephrene - central and peripheral alpha 1 agonist and vasoconstrictor (now being fairly commonly prescribed although it is not restricted) Synephrine - peripheral alpha 1 agonist made from bitter orange Diosmin - vasoconstrictive via indirect mechanism Methylsynephrine - vasoconstrictor once used for postural hypotension and now as a dietary supplement for weight loss. Experimental.

    If they could work this out we would be in for much more effective treatments

    Keep them coming.

    Short term fluctuations increasing blood pressure are not generally regarded as of medical significance. Low blood pressure spells are probably more dangerous. Sustain hypertension is another matter.

    Peripheral blood pressure reading do not tell you about stroke volume or cerebral blood flow.

    I call them pots migraines. Pretty common but get checked out.
  18. ramakentesh
    Overall blood pressure measurements don't always tell you much about how much blood is getting to your brain, stroke volume, cerebral auto regulation and alpha receptor action. Treating pots or oi successfully usually resolves Bp fluctuations at least in the dizzy set.

    As in your son lol

    Great that humira has helped chaos

    For years all meds seemed to give me odd reactions. Then I started florinef and now I can tolerate meds fine nd all the weird intolerances to meds, caffeine, etc all disappeared. then I found out that low circulating blood volume compromises the efficacy of many meds - particularly vasoconstrictors.
  22. ramakentesh
    No way! If you don't have to feel bad why would you?
  23. ramakentesh
    Alpha 1 agonists and volume expansion via florinef. Most pots appear to have faulty alpha 1 or sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction causing reduced stroke volume and impaired cerebral perfusion. biofeedback techniques would be about as likely to assist that as they would in treating multiple sclerosis or hypertension..

    Melatonin suppresses sympathetic msna response to standing. Bad for dizzy pots claimed to be helpful for hyper pots. also can increase autoimmunity according to some studies.

    Seemed to elevate energy and mood for me
