Default Hello to all I am new....
Where do I start,

My name is Tammy and I am from PA. My husband was dxed with POTS in May of 2002 by Dr. Fouadt at the CLeveland Clinic. I am his caregiver and therefore I do not work. His biggest symptom from POTS is that he will pass out without a warning and then he is unable to wake himself up, so I use smelling salts. He has not had a spell since the Sunday before Easter of this year, so things are going pretty well right now, but I have learned that it can change just as fast. He currently is on Lopressor 75mg three times a day. He drinks at least 6 bottles of water and 1 gatoraide per day and this has been working pretty well.

We have been married 9 years and together 15. We have two wonderful boys, Austin is 7 and Walker is 2.

Well I guess that is all for now, if you have any questions, please ask.

Tammy:

Hello Tammy and Welcome to NeuroTalk. I'm not familiar w/POTS, but I do hope you'll take a look around and make yourself at home.

Hi there Tammy, and welcome from me as well.

I assume that the POTS you are talking about is Postural Tachycardia Syndrome. We don't have a forum specifically for that condition, but maybe if you have a look around the board you may find one that suits your needs.

You might like to start with the General Health Conditions & Rare Disorders though. Here's the direct link: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum2.html

Welcome again Tammy. It's so nice to meet you.
