    Has anyone been treated with IVIG ( immunoglobulin via IV) for POTS? There's a (blood) test processed in Germany by Cell Trend that looks for auto-antibody markers to determine if IVIG might be helpful to you. This will help your area POTS MD in administering IVIG. Research was reported by Dr. David Kem, Univ of OK and OK VA. LTC Bill

    My breathing problems seem to be during the day time when conversing. It could be 5 minutes or 15 and I become winded and leads to some fatigue. My PCP atributes it to respiratory muscle fatigue. Not sure if I can do anythng about this other than be proactive when possible. I have POTS.

    Can this POTS documentary be forwarded to non DINET members to view? I tried copying and pasting the site and the DINET window stated you have to be a member to access this. Is there a way around this so it can be shared with friends and family? LTC Bill
