The illness or Syndrome is called Postural Orthastatic Tachycardia Syndrome or P.O.T.S. This is not well know but it is such a big problem and it has no cure.

  Okay
  Okay

The patients are 80% women of the ages from 5 all the way to 40 or older. I myself won't release my actual age. You can guess.

  Okay
  Okay

The symptoms can completely turn someone's life upside down. People are in wheelchairs or bedridden or in a hospital... if you can even be accepted. Doctors have told me I am crazy and that I need a psychologist. I can't even get the treatment I need at the hospitals and I desperately need saline and I am sure many others do too.

  Okay
  Okay

No one knows why this happens. No one knows how to cure it. We have to eat scary proportions of salt and take medications like beta blockers. I take Midodrine, Fludicortizone and Atentoloyl.

  Okay

P.O.T.S is a malfunction of the Autonomic Nervous System which controls everything you can't such as heartbeat, body temperature and more. It makes it so it can't do any of these things and it starves the brain of oxygen. When we stand the veins are supposed to contract so all the blood doesn't fall to our legs and can go back to the heart. That is why we can also have red, heavy or swollen legs because blood will pool in our legs, unable to get back to the heart.

  Okay
  Okay

This Syndrome is a living nightmare for people living with it and we ALL struggle everyday.

  Okay
  Okay

P.O.T.S patients are commonly mistaken of having panic disorder because many doctors don't know. (I started getting a headache around this point of making the test)

  Okay
  Okay

Matter of fact... Back in the civil war there were a few... Select warriors that were apparently blacking out or forgetting tasks. Many dropped unconscious on the battle field. They were told horrible things about how they were incapable of anything, lazy and useless and eventually kicked out. Doctors aware of P.O.T.S suspect they had Postural Othastatic.

  Okay
  Okay
