Wow. This is happening to me as well. I don't understand it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm thinking too much. Have I always had POTS? Yes. But the difference is, I didn't know. I just accepted the symptoms and carried on. Worked full time, raised my kids, traveled constantly, hiked, never afraid of anything. Now that there is a name? I'm afraid to get out of bed.

I think that it adding to my stress levels and the frantic search for a miracle. My mom is

I'm new, but having been reading for several months. Just looking for some encouragement, I feel like everything out there in the internets is so depressing and not a lot of hopeful success stories. I have joined a few Facebook groups, but it's hard to get anyone to respond. Looking back, I've always had this. Teenager, passing out and outgrew that in my 20's, just like literature says. But over the years, there were symptoms, I just didn't know. Like feeling horrible and exhausted after a hot shower. Fatigue. "Good lord, I'm out of shape! Why is my heart racing?!! I feel so muc
