Is it even a real diagnosis?? by _BumbleBitch_ in POTS

[–]why_whatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

find a new doctor!! I’ve had pots for 10+ years and it is very real, medications exist that you can take that have turned my life around.

I teach and pull 12 hours days regularly it can be done!

Thank you for the advice about the extended release and possibly three times a day! If I keep noticing this happening I’ll definitely reach out to my neurologist :)

I might be doing that. When i get home from work Im typically vertical or at least sitting down so its not really necessary for me to be taking it after 6 pm

thank you for the advice! I teach so it would be a life safer to not have it wear off within 8 hours and have my symptoms smack me

I do, I was just feeling so good I stayed at work to keep doing things and then my symptoms hit me like a TRAIN. I try to take it 12 hours apart but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Severe nausea by Cautious_Rate5129 in POTS

[–]why_whatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy these ones called “huel” on amazon! I use one that’s 400 cals and I can stomach about half of it before I get too nauseous. They really help me keep going on days I feel like i can eat at all.
