Anyone with young kids with POTS?

My 4 year old has POTS as well as my husband.  Anyone have any ideas on how to cope?  I am frustrated because their symptoms change on a daily basis.  I am homeschooling our daughter but she is struggling to complete her lessons everyday.  She is so unfocused, in pain, dizzy, collapsing, and nauseated.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

I had a positive tilt table test. I faint for no reason. Before going to a Neuro, I'd been to several Drs. I was passing out 5-10 times a day. I had 2 seizures a month apart that got the Dr looking at the POTS as my diagnosis, I did the tilt table test, showed positive and now I take a medication called Metoprolol,it's a beta blocker. I've fainted some, not much at all for awhile before we moved here . Once we moved I've only passed out 2 times in 8 months.
I hope this info is valuable to you. You all with POTS are not alone. I hope your family continues to find good care so they can live life to it's fullest.
