I have kept improving from my POTS and I drove yesterday after church. I also go to church (large place) with no wheelchair now. I can walk so much more and do so much more now.

Has anyone else been doing better? I sure hope so.

Thank you. From not being able to lift my head from my:In bed: pillow when POTS struck to having fun and having joy back, it is so wonderful.:balloons:

Sally,

This is wonderful! And it is great how you post pictures to show us great stuff. You look great.

And yes, I too am doing better. I think quite a few of us are. And though others aren't, take courage, new treatments and research is on its way. I trust there will be an answer for each of us.

Little things make a big difference when your sick with POTS. So fantastic stuff!

I tend to get pots in flare ups and then it calms down

Great news, Sally! :balloons: Congratulations! :balloons:

A convertible bug -- that's SO you! :D

My daughter went on a 12 mile hike over rough terrain on Saturday. :victory:

There are PWME getting a lot better. It gives hope to the rest of us who are still fighting. Thanks, Sally!

That's a lot of improvement Sally, from having trouble just lifting your head to driving. Great news! Do you know what aspects of your treatment have helped so much with POTS? I could use all the help I can get with it too.

Glad to hear you are improving :)

I think my POTS is improving too..but I dont know if anything is doing is causing the improvement. I think thou it may be a change from POTS into having more orthostatic hypertension then I had previously... if I get one of these I dont tend to get the other at the same time.

Tristen, so glad you are improving. My bug is Blue, called Heaven Blue. I love the name of the paint. Her name is Bluebonnet (State flower of Texas!)
