  1. Tmi for employers/ coworkers I really felt if I shared info there would be more understanding. Instead it's getting old. Some Fam and friends feel the same way

  3. I feel like I'm on the gameshow family feud... Good answer, good answer (clapping)
  4. Intriguing. I was dx out of the blue. Stepdaughter has lupus and shows similar sx and my daughter shows similar symptoms. I really think this is the tip of the iceberg. I hope with research we will get more answers instead of head scratching. I too do better with fluids salt and mild exercise small amt of iv fluids as well. Meds mess me up.

  6. I've been having surge like flares in afternoons for two months... No matter if I've had my fluids salt etc
  7. Tilt table tests bring out the worst in us don't they? I've had symptoms now for at least 2 years Just recently I've developed a pattern. I cut my salt first thing in am when I was nauseated. 16 oz of water first then add the sodium from v8 or powerade zero. And toast. Feel better!!!
  8. What a summer it's been. Typically I feel better in summer and this ones been different. I've been home all week from work and going to er and docs. Iv been flaring. Typically for an hour or two in the afternoons. Whether at home, work or out and about. I get nauseated, sweaty then tachy to about 150..then tremors... Of course the brain fog etc..do you guys see patterns with your flares?
  9. I had an inconclusive test then a test I failed that was done correctly. My cardiologist did the test she had never done one nor the tech. 2 weeks later the experienced EP and his regular tech did mine. I failed within 5 min or so.thr didn't use meds. Monitored testing flat for 45 min, upright tilt... Can't remember degree. 5 min upright. Returned to supine and my heart rate plummeted from 160 to 60. Make sure the doc and tech are trained. My second one was done at no cost due to the first.

  11. Oct 5, 2013.. I was on a date with my hubby and developed lightheadedness, tachy,nausea, chest pain and fatigue. This was my initial pots crash. Since I've been dx with vit d deficiency, hypermobility. But have hx of anemia, epsteinbarr and surgeries. I was reading the above posts and couldn't help but shed a tear... Blink of an eye guys. What a journey to be on
  12. Every person sees a rise in hr when changing position...ours happens to go higher fluctuate or stick for lack of better words
  13. I don't attend dinner parties... But when out in a crowd or at work... I sip water, use something to cool myself, frequent trips to bathroom and normally iv fluids prior to. Countermanouvers like crossing legs while standing and moving my fingers and toes. I layer my clothes to help temp control.im not on meds. I agree... Before all these pots symptoms started I led a very social life. All I can think of at the moment. Hope you are able to go. Keep us posted.

  23. Thanks guys! Got fluids, chest discomfort subsided. Of course my body is trying to adjust to normal... So a little woozy and nauseated. Summer is here... So I guess upping the salt and fluids again and infusions weekly. For us summer lasts 8-10 weeks. Before you know it... Back to cold and raynouds. Vicious cycle
