Overwhelmed, please help

For many years I've been struggling with different health problems. Last year I was able to get answers to my main question:" what's wrong with me?" So it turns out I have POTS. Doctors started treating me with different medications but they weren't working; so I decided to look for a good specialist and found Dr. Roy Freeman in Boston. I had an appointment with him last week and he told me he wasn't sure if I had POTS even though the autonomic testing said otherwise. The doctor that did the testing is Dr. Peter Novak and is really good but now I don't know who's right. I've having another autonomic testing done but while I wait for results again; has anyone seen Dr. Freeman? How about Dr. Novak? Does anyone know any other specialists in dysautonomia: POTS?? I feel like I'm back where I started. Sick, not been able to work and not knowing what's wrong with me. I do think it's POTS because of all my symptoms but it's still frustrating.

Vanderbilt in Nashville has an Sutonomic Research Clinic. Dr. David Robertson is currently doing research on this problem. You have to send your records and ask that he take your case. He is published on PubMed. Google PubMed then search his name. I went to Vandy for a second opinion and I highly recommend them. Mayo misdiagnosed me.

Hi, I've been helping one of my patients with severe P.O.T.S issues. I have been able to do over the phone sessions for helping control the autonomic immune system through hypnosis and alleviating 88% of the pooling in the extremities. Perhaps I can help you. Contact me with any questions you have.
