I was finally diagnosed with POTS 6/2017 after many years of symptoms. Over the last 4 years my memory, ability to prioritize, comprehend and focus as a health care worker has changed dramatically. People talk to me and I forget it if I don't immediately write it down, then I lose my paper. I am very easily overwhelmed anymore and constantly stay late to work. The stress at work exacerbates my symptoms. My family jokes and says I have early onset dementia (not funny I'm 33). I've been on Florinef 3 weeks and just started midodrine. I have severe pooling in dependent extremities, esp with heat. Will the brain fog get better as I find medications that work? Will I need to go on disability? I used to be an avid reader and dropped out of grad school because I just can't comprehend what I read. I'm so confused as what to do. I tried a desk job in past but my symptoms were terrible and getting up walking around and compression stocking have not given me improvement. I only work PRN not more than once a week. I am going to have a serious conversation with my Dr. next week about my ability to safely perform my job. Experience, stregnth and hope please.
