I live in south Carolina and i got it based totally on pots,even though i now know i also have heds.I first applied was denied than obtained an attorney.from the time i applied to getting it a year and a half.

Hi circuscat, I agree with katybug,i have similar story to yours that's why I spend some of my time on a Inspire forum.I at 50 got my diagnosis of HEDS which is elhers danlos III. Dr Blair Grubb Finally diagnosed my condition behind my pots and dsyautonomia.Vanderbilt university in nashville Tenn,in 2007 diagnosed my pots and dsyautonomia.Dr Grubb in Toledo Ohio in 2014 diagnosed my heds.Because i do suffer with pots and dsyautonomia i love my dinet.org forum,its very informative. But because i also suffer with heds i find inspire informative for that.much prayers to you to

Becia, sending lots of concern thoughts and prayers your way.

Story, I too have suffered my whole life, symptoms have progressed through the years.because of child bearing, surgeries, to stresses of work, and stresses of life.unfortunately I was not aware of how sick I was at times and pushed beyond what I had and caused more damage. But fortunately I knew through all my symptoms and diagnosis and test we still where missing something. The sleeping issues have always been there, last 6 to 7 years symptoms have developed into these surges.remember too menopause brings about for some worsening of their symptoms. So the last 7 years I have the shadow of men

Hi story, no did not have to do tilt table for dr grubb, because I have had four since 2007 all four never changed they showed i did have pots.how ever that was always one of my symptom as doctor Grubb said, my primary problem was heds.he did not have to order or do any test because before going to dr grubb I brought all my records with me.he knew rite away I had heds.my doctors from my cardiologist, to my neurologist, to endocrinologist, and my gastrogoloist,gave me my records from all the test they performed, along with dr raj records from vanderbilt university. So I had alot.dr grubb did pe

Story,i recently just got home from my doctor vist in toledo ohio.i too did not tolrate betas,we are trying knew one Bystolic 2.5 once a day, (i cut even that dose in half)i am very very med senative.Dr Grubb says it is a relatively new beta-blocker that is most beta 1 selective agent currently made has far fewer side effects and dose is once a day.also for me it is pill form i can cut into.no extended release.dr grubb said take as i could tolrate it.so far i have been doing ok i don't take it everyday,but what i take is helping surges at nite and my increased heart rate.so far it's the only m

Thank you, I know time will be my friend but today my pain of loss, is great.Me and max had talks he was going to out live me.I know that sounds crazey, but my illness and symptoms have brought me too such pain and helpness that on bad days I felt my time is limited.My max's comfort is what pulled me through.Suppose to go to Dr Grubb, in sept don't know how my mind can focus. My family is grieving as well and they like me loved him so much.agin thanks for taking the time out to express your condolence on my loss.

Words are so hard to find to describe my max.He was a resue. I'v had him since he was 8 weeks old.His legged was injured beyond repair, local vet called asked if I good take him.and of course I did.He was a boxer with a tail and his ears still and we left him that way.I'v talked of himin one of the post on the forum, because he was one of my coping skills for my illness with dsyautonomia. He was so in tune to me.everytime I cried whatever he was doing hecame over and had to stay beside me until I was done, even then he would whatch my eyes intently to make sure I was ok.about a month ago when

Fifty, and waiting.Nope still sick.

Hi, faintinggoat my appointment is on the 12 of September.I to tried florinef but could not tolerate the more headaches that it causes for me.I have had pots all my life i now know.from being diagnosis with mitral valve, cfs,to panic attacks, to hypoglycemia, to low levels of vitamin d, tmj, servre dry eyes, list goes on and on.I went to Vanderbilt for my confirmed diagnosis, in 2007. That was helpful for that, but not for long term treatment and what i overlap. I have known my dsyautonomia runs in our family no one has stepped up to have it diagnosed. I really believe we will be looking at el

Hi misstraci, I too had test done for Gastroparesis I was able to eat oatmeal. My test showed delayed gastric emptying. My gastrogoloist did not feel the benefits taking the meds would out weigh side effects of the meds.I'm not tolerate of meds.as well delayed gastric causes med build up.maybe meds will help you.test worth getting if you can.I too take zantac when build up is bad.also small small meals.no beef and whatch gluten.

Sorry I spelled faintinggoat wrong.
