Thanks everyone for the advice...boy these things sure are tight!! LOL. But, I really can tell the difference in how I feel. I feel like my brain is finally getting enough oxygenated blood. Thanks again, I'll be keeping an eye on the forums for more tips and keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers (I feel like I know many of you already). KSJayhawk

Hi all. I was recently diagnosed with POTS. I'm just not used to wearing hose of any kind all the time. Except during the winter, I usually wear capri pants and flip-flops. Wondering if hose that go only mid-calf would still be effective, or do they have to go clear over feet and ankles? I've looked at forum posts about spanx and Dr Rey's supporwear, but I'm just not sure what style of these things I should try. I appreciate any advice you may have. I'm 38 y.o. busy mom of two and willing to try anything to feel better. I don't want to sleep my life away. Thanks, KSJayhawk.

Hi all. I've been watching this site for a few weeks. Just diagnosed with POTS. I also have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. About two years ago, I had an anaphalactic reaction to an infusion for the arthritis and had to have a shot of epinephrine. I think that may have triggered the POTS, if that's possible. It's taken quite some time to find a doctor who doesn't think I'm crazy. I'm thankful for this website that has given me a lot of info about how to manage these awful symptoms. KSJayhawk
