  1. thanks for all of your guy's input. As for meds i'm just on zoloft, and zofran(as needed). The Doctors down at the mayo say that im on the stomach cramp, nausea side of POTS, while others suffer more from fatigue. I do also get fatigued greatly, but not nearly as much alot of the other people on this site. Thank you guys for all your imput! Maybe i should try lighter exercise more times a day? kinda like eating, small meals, more times a-day. hmm i dunno, i just hope i grow out of this soon so i can get on with my life! anyways, thanks again for your imput!
  2. Hey, my name is Scott and ive had POTS for the last 3 almost 4 years. When i first startted gettting symptoms i was 13. I would get severe stomach cramps, and extreame nausea. I was not able to eat any food except rice krispys, breadsticks, plain potatoes, and some meat . I weighed in at 85 pounds. YIKES! After about a year I started getting extreamly fatiqued, and very tired. Ever since i have been sleeping 15 hours a day (including naps). I was wondering if anybody else suffered from fatigue and tiredness? Im now 17 and i havent been able to do sports for the past couple of years. The past month i have been trying to exercise at least an hour to 2 hours a day. I try to just get outside, go play tennis, go on bike rides, lift weights, do erobics, play basketball, but my weight (170's) still isnt going down! grr . I was also wondering if anybody else has put on weight due to this illness or due to medicines that you are taking. Any tips on getting rid of the weight? Im only looking to getting rid of 15-25 pounds to get lean for the summer. anyways thanks for looking, i look forward to hearing your thoughts I find that exercising after eating is NOT a good idea, it always give me stomach cramps and makes me fel nauseas Does anybody else sweat in excess when exercising or even when changing enviroments? Some days when i go off to school i find that after about 5 min of being in school i start sweating while just sitting down!! its horrible! people keep asking me why im sweating and i have no clue how to stop it hmm any thoughts, tips, input?
  3. hey, i have extreame nausea on a daily basis too, some things that help me are lots of tums, and zofran as needed. Last week i had ANOTHER endoscopy down at the mayo clinic. The doctor subscribed a natural substance for nausea called "apple pectin" you can get it at most natural remedy stores. I havent tried it yet, but maybe its worth i try. I was wondering when you get your nausea? is it all day, mornings, night etc.. hope things improve for you!
  4. hey, first off youll be fine , the procedure is painless, and the eggs have no taste. just be thankful that your not doing barium good luck and i hope they find something that will help you!
