What helps?!
I have had a horrible flare up of my POTS and have hardly left my house in a month because it has been so bad. I feel like I start to see some improvement but then it just gets horrible again. What do you do when you have a flare up to help get back to "normal" POTS symptoms?
I used to drink like a fish :) I just watch other people now. I'm off to bed now. It's late in London. Your in the us I guess. Hope you get time to read the blog and it helps. Hope u have had a better day today

It's funny...my whole life, even as a teen I could never drink alcohol. It always made me feel ill after just one sip. Now at age 42, I finally understand why!

Good morning. I forgot to say. The diet I follow is from this book
The GI Plan by Azmina Govindjl and NinaPuddefoot.
I only use the book to look up the GIPs for food types. I do not do the diet. I try and eat foods with low GIPs as they release sugars into the body more slowly and this seems to help. I don't always stick to it tho now I am better but I never have alcohol now as this definitely makes pots worse.

Hi.sorry I wrote it down from memory. It's
http//lynnecampbell.bloodspot.com.
I must do a proper update on there but for now click on the comments and you will see how I have got better. I do still wake up every morning to a racing heart but I try to ignore it and take my meds. The symptoms go off after a while. Every day I do still feel tired but I fight against it and stay out of bed. If I get too tired only have an hours nap in the afternoon. Most days tho I am ok. It took me a long time to research everything for my blog and this was whilst I was really sick so I really do hope it helps you. All that work will be worth while :). It was a real struggle at the time. Even to sit at my pc. But I am proof that we can get better so stay strong and fight this dreadful illness. Most of all try not to panic. Easy to say when you feel like you are going to never get better. But I pray you will.
Let me know what you think
