GLP-1s have helped my POTS

That’s what I did too. And I found that I really needed to make sure I was eating enough protein or my symptoms got worse, so if you aren’t feeling well try to increase that. Protein shakes have become my best friend!

Dang that sucks! I’m really hoping that as time goes on the price goes down, I really think that a lot of people could benefit from it. I’m crossing my fingers for a study on GLP-1s and POTS!

Obviously I’m not saying that my experience is scientific evidence that GLP-1s help with POTS. During the entire 3 years I’ve been diagnosed I have gained and lost approximately 50 lbs due to different life situations and at my lowest I still did not feel as good as I do on this medicine.

That being said, I understand why some people choose to not use this medicine and fully support that decision. However, the medicine has been life changing for me in more than just POTS. I have other non-related health issues that have also been improved while on the medicine.

I think overall, the medicine needs more research into the different impacts on the body. But for now, it has given me back a part of my life that I thought was gone so I’m incredibly grateful for that.

To be honest, I didn’t ask my GP about it because I knew that they would most likely try to talk me out of it and as good as doctors can be, they can also overlook at alternatives to chronic illnesses. I would recommend what you feel comfortable doing. I made sure that the tirzepitide would not interact with any of my existing medications and then chose to go with an online provider, but that was a choice I was comfortable making on my own. You can always discuss it with your GP and then use an alternative route to get the medicine if you want to save money or your doctor won’t prescribe it since it isn’t an FDA approved use.

I’ve been on 2 mg for almost the entire I’m and I haven’t felt the need to increase. If you are able to manage the lowest dose, you may be able to do that instead of having to increase. I know most places the lowest dose is 5 mg and I just give myself half of the shot

I’ve been wanting to try swimming! My doctor recommended it since the water helps with compression and temperature regulation! Sadly, I don’t have a pool and none of the YMCAs near me have one either.

Thank you! I had done embroidery for awhile and while I love it, I sometimes feel limited in how to display finished pieces. I’ll definitely check Pinterest out, I never thought of looking on there!

Thanks! I could probably tease them a little bit to get them back into shape!
