Too bad they are not treating symptoms after this amount of time. I understand masking symptoms making it hard to properly diagnose, but at some point you need relief.

Yea, thy said I could try midirone (sp?) for the POTS if I want, but that they arent sure it would really help any, and of course I am afriad of taking new drugs... but I guess its very short acting (suppose to raise my bp and someone make the HR jump less upon standing...)
As far as Mayo, are them and Hopkins pretty much the two options in the U.S. that take on "hard unsolved cases" and do a super condensed work-ups? If I am considering this route is there anywhere else I should consider?
I always thought Hopkins was more of a normal hospital scene like Mass General, where you can get appts. with specialists, and testing, spread out over months, whereas Mayo is a group of specialists all working on your case at once, getting multiple tests done each day...
