In terms of me? Well, I haven't really noticed it during the weekend, and had to think about it a couple of times (it's still there of course).
So, given my sentence above compared to how much pain you are in, why should a GP give me an appointment to get a skin biopsy when there are so many people more needing than myself. I wouldn't and shouldn't!

POTs is where your heart rate increases when your standing or exerting more than it should. So say I’m laying down my HR is 60-80. Standing I jump to anywhere between 100-120 and if I get hot or exert myself like getting dressed, it skyrockets. Some people pass out. I’ve come close but I don’t. It’s ehere the small nerve fibres have affected your Autonomic nervous system.
If oh want the biopsy why don’t you go for it? Could find a cause and potentially stop any progression?
