Over the last year or so following my onset of illness I've been somewhat lumped with the diagnosis of ME/CFS however it now appears that I've in fact been suffering with acute onset POTS sometimes referred to as viral onset POTS (in fact it was a vaccination which triggered mine, however this falls under the aforementioned sub-heading.) My question is whether POTS and ME are one in the same or two similar and often linked yet distinct entities. From my own personal opinion I believe them to be separate conditions however I am of the opinion that ME stems from a immune mediated dysregulation between the autonomic nervous and cardiovascular systems - if this is the case it's easy to see why POTS could 'come along for the ride' so to speak. Let me know what you think given your own experience. Do you have both ME and POTS, did one come before the other? Have you found anything that helps with your symptoms?
