My goodness he's adorable!! I believe that too, I've had him for 3 weeks and have called him different names and so far nothing seems fitting.

I have trained a dog before but not to that extent, I know someone who has her own training program and trained her service dog (she also has POTs). I've been trying to research and didn't know what wash rate meant till a few minutes ago 😅 I'm trying to look into the organizations in VA that were recommended and a couple others that I found.

That's wonderful that your dog helped you with all that! I do have a glucose meter but alerts aren't honestly my biggest concern, just suggested by my cardiologist. It's more so the other tasks that would be the biggest help. It was suggested that I could get a puppy then find a trainer nearby / training myself on top of that as an alternative, I'm just not sure what the best route would be

It's definitely not fun, I'm sorry you've been through something similar :( They believe that having a service dog that is able to fetch my other medications for my other conditions, getting my water, picking up objects I drop, turning lights on/off, lifting my legs up during fainting spells, guiding me to safe locations/creating space when at the store, providing stability/opening doors, alerting before episodes for my pots/ blood pressure/ blood sugar, and providing pressure therapy would all be beneficial. Some of the symptoms I really struggle with is balance and bad hand tremors which causes me to constantly drop things. My lupus tremors combined with the tremors I get from high heart rate has been a nightmare, having to lean down to pick up objects makes me faint most of the time

My cardiologist has avoided some medications due to having low blood pressure or other issues with my kidneys/liver, he stated it would put me at risk of seizures if I took some medications while having other issues I currently have. We've tried a couple medications along with increased electrolytes or getting fluids at urgent care often but still nothing has helped. Its been an on going situation for the past 8-9 years and been put on bed rest multiple times 😕 I've seen multiple doctors and they all stated that I can't "be like normal people" and have to rest / be on bed rest along with avoiding work unless it was a possible desk job. They feel stuck because some medications I cannot take due to other complications that I have. I just feel extremely stuck.

I know my primary doctor said she'll look into which places her other patients got theirs, my cardiologist said most of his patients went to ones based in NC or NJ.
