I also have PoTS. One thing that has helped I am going to respiratory therapy and have started wearing compression hose when standing on my feet. I wear knee high. Compression socks when sitting. I don’t wear them when sleeping. I have what I call zombies, I have to move and it is like I have an adrenaline rush that can last for hours. Light bothers me. Too much sound bothers me, I have brain fog and have to use a shower chair. I have been to every specialist and test but no Dr has actually diagnosed me. Now I am drinking a lot of water. I do drink 70oz of water a day as recommended. I have lost a lot of weight. I used to sleep all the time and felt week and dizzy when standing, I still get dizzy at times and don’t drive. I take electrolytes. I live in OK at I have basically helped myself thru research. I have been to a neurologist had brain scan, cardiologist had ekg, treadmill test, cat scans, mri’s, my cardiologist took me off of blood pressure pills. I have had my hair fall out and cut it off. My dermatologist prescribed rogain and a prescription to help my hair grow back. My g.i. Doctor prescribed something for my nausea and reflex after a colonoscopy. I feel like I am being dismissed. This has been going on for 2 yrs. My husband has had to do everything. But I will say compression hose & respiratory therapy had been the best help. I still am not right. The pulmonary Dr. Checked me for cOPD and asthma tests show I don’t have either. I am very short of breath with any exertion. And if it is really bad, I vomit or have diarrhea. Although that is a lot better since I started respiratory therapy. I have search for help and someone that know what to do to help me with no luck. Carolyn

It’ll be okay. You’re doing so good ❤

I am sorry you are going through this but it makes me happy that there is someone out there going through the same things I am. I’ve been in a flare this week because of 100°+ temps (and cuz I over did it a few days in a row 😅) watching your videos motivates me to start making videos for my channel again (not this account) thank you so much for being open and raw about your health! ❤❤

Love and prayers always my dear QUEEN Jenni!!!

Hi, Jenni! This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and after hearing about your POTS and knee issues, I have to ask if you’ve ever heard of or been evaluated for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder? It is often associated with POTS and causes joint problems, along with so many other things!

I have had that exact same feeling of tension and anxiety in my body, while mentally feeling calm and peaceful. Would be lovely if there was a way to get rid of that feeling!

I didn’t notice your channel name right away, but I thought it was a cool coincidence when I did because I know someone named Jenni who also has POTS, she even spells her name with an i like you do

Yup, I was diagnosed 6m after I got the Covid Vaccine. I had to give up my boxing career. POTS sucks but hang in there.. I went through everything you said and it can get better.

Thank you for sharing your story. We need more stories out there. My daughter started having symptoms in 9 th grade. If we had heard stories like this back then ,then maybe she would be further in her recovery now. We went trough 10 years of doctors calling it anxiety or saying there was nothing wrong. 3 years ago she was so sick she had to move back home and was house bound. That’s when we stoped letting doctors tell us there was nothing wrong and finally got the pot’s diagnosis. And that was only after I saw a story on you tube about girls with pots that describe her symptoms exactly. We then went to a new doctor and asked to be tested for pots. She much better but still has a ways to go. I am researching recovery stories now to find the next steps to take. I don’t know where you are in your journey now but keep working at getting better . Recovery is possible.

im sort of in the same situation.. im curious did you get vacinated with the covid vaccine and also did you travel out of the country prior to fainting the very first time.... reason im asking is have you looked into you gut Health... i strongly advise that you get tested for GI issues such as H pylori or any bacteria over growth in your stomach... which normally trigger your system to go out of wack.also what is your diet like and have you check your histamine level.. because thats critical....im my case everyhting that happen to you already happen to me.. but im real stubborn and im getting to the bottom of it..... i saw major improvement with a low histamine diet. taking supplements not medications... vit D k2, CoQ10, vit C ,, B complex digestive enzymes a magnesium and good pro biotic and well as bromyl sodium and drink plenty of electrolytes and water... im seeing improvements...

Thank you for sharing, this really has helped me feel like im not alone

I got Dx in October and had tons of symptoms as well. They thought seizures or MS initially. Thankfully it’s “just” POTS. I got meds and I’m 90% back to normal I’d say. I hope I can stop meds one day but probably not. I take propranolol 20mg twice a day. It took 3 weeks to start working. I went from 6 minutes to 1.5 hours on a treadmill. It was exhausting to get here.

Hi Jenni, I developed POTS between April and June 2022, and I hope my story can help you (I am about 90% recovered now). Similar to you, I first noticed my blood pressure dropping and feeling a bit dizzy (although I never passed out). I had recently been diagnosed with fibroids, and had needed a transfusion due to very low hemoglobin, but the POTS symptoms seemed to come on as a reaction to a medication called Lupron that they prescribed for the fibroids. Lupron shuts down your hormones. Each time I would get a Lupron shot. I would have dizzy, spells and low blood pressure for a day or two. The third time I noticed that my pulse went up every time I stood up and that time it didn’t go away the next day. POTS has a high correlation among women, both very young and those approaching menopause. This indicates a hormonal component. Like you I was bedridden, in my case for about six months. I had other symptoms in the beginning, chronic fatigue, digestive problems, nausea, headaches, feeling, off-balance, brain fog. And then probably forgetting a few. Like you, the doctors didn’t have very much to offer. I wasn’t willing to accept that it couldn’t be treated though. So I did a lot of research looking on UA-cam for people who had recovered from POTS. @e.williams13 is correct: POTS is a symptom of disregulation of the autonomic nervous system - the part of your nervous system that controls all the automatic functions of your body, (as were all of my other symptoms). The broader term for this is dysautonomia. The good thing is, you can correct this problem and bring your autonomic nervous system back into regulation. For many people brain retraining programs are all they need. I tried DNRS (online), and while it wasn’t enough for me, just hearing the testimonies from people who had recovered was helpful, because the knowledge that you can get better is essential to relaxing your autonomic nervous system so it can come back into regulation. (dysautonomia is not the same thing as anxiety, although it can cause you to feel anxiety. It’s a real physiological problem, and can affect any of your systems, so different people can experience different types of symptoms.) In my research, I kept finding testimonies from people who were treated by functional neurologists (sometimes also called chiropractic neurologists). so I looked for one in my area and started a treatment program there. About four months later, I no longer had POTS, I was able to drive, and I only lay down when it was time to go to bed. Now I can work full-time and do all the normal activities I used to do. I still technically have a little dysautonomia, mostly in the form of mild balance problems, but I expect this to continue to improve, and eventually go away. My treatment involved noninvasive nerve stimulation, Red laser light therapy for my headaches, various balance, coordination, and cognition games, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, tilt table therapy (carefully monitored starting with mild angles and pressurized boots, not like the tilt table tests), and changes to my diet and supplements to support brain and hormone health and replenish nutrients that were low. I saw a significant improvement in my symptoms during this time, while visiting my parents for three weeks, when I forced myself to sleep 10 to 12 hours per day. I had had poor sleep for a long time before that, and for me improvement in sleep helped my nervous system rebalance a great deal. Dr. Nathan Keiser (who happens to be in Michigan) is a chiropractic neurologist, and he has a great UA-cam channel where he describes, and explains dysautonomia, and other conditions he treats, and the treatments he uses to help people get better, often very quickly. I recommend you look at his UA-cam channel (www.youtube.com/@dockeiser) and his webpage (www.drkeiser.com). If you can find a clinic like his in Texas, then I would suggest to do a consultation with them. If not, I would suggest to travel to one like Dr. Keiser’s. Heads up, standard medical doctors are generally not trained in or knowledgeable about functional neurology, nor is it covered by most insurance plans. However, it is worth the money if you have to pay for it on your own, because it will truly return your health to you, which standard medicine cannot do. Since I lost my job during my illness, my sister raised funds on GiveSendGo for my treatment, which was around $7000. I never took medications or massive amounts of salt, and I only wore compression socks for a short time. Do not give up, you can, and will fully recover, either with brain retraining or functional neurology, or a little bit of both. You are in my prayers and I wish you all the best.

Also I know it's difficult but you have to walk. Start out with 5 minutes a day and then increase. You may have to have someone walk with you but exercise will help regulate your nervous system. Youre autonomic nervous system is dysregulated... The more you are immobile it makes it worse it seems.

Hey sweetie! I know exactly what you are going through. I went through the same thing. I am about 75% better. I still struggle with a little fatigue but I am able to work from home full time now. I started brain retraining. As weird as it may sound someone mentioned it to me and I looked into it because medications did not help much and I felt like my life was passing before my eyes. There are different ones but the one I am doing right now is called wired for wellness. You can also look into people with pots here on UA-cam that have tried this and are doing a lot better. Please try this with an open mind and do not let anyone tell you that it cannot get better or be healed because it can. The doctors can only do so much for you and honestly it's not too much. Take care❤

Love you Jenni, great job on this video. Surely will help others❤❤❤❤

Hi Jenni, does your blurred vision improve when you lie down?

Good luck. I wish you well and will keep you in my prayers.

Thank you for sharing your journey. I know what it’s like to struggle with illness, it’s never easy. And I know how hard it can be to be open about it. But thank you for finding the courage to speak about it here. I’m always curious to learn about health conditions that are very important, but not talked about enough. I hope I can learn more about POTS so I can help patients with this condition improve their daily lives after I graduate college. Please continue to share your story and educate more people about this condition. I hope a cure is found in the future, I understand how hard it can be to live through.

Beautiful.. i’m sharing this with our three daughters, who are millennials. Thank you!
