The most interesting thing she told me about POTS...I asked her why the doctors at Johns Hopkins focused so much on CFS patients who were hyper-mobile. She explained that it was because CFS patients with 'floppy' joints also have floppy veins that don't vasoconstict well. Interesting.
Is anyone else with POTS hyper-mobile?
I am hyper-mobile but have OI (NMH) rather than POTS. I also think that the vein valves tend to prolapse as the heart valves often do with hypermobile EDs. I find that cotton, compression knee socks help a lot if I need to be on my feet much.
Best,
