Truly, my GP has helped me so much, from prescribing meds to helping me find specialists that can give me more pinpointed care, heās been incredible š„°
I see a cardiologist. I haven't gotten that much help/relief though. I don't respond at all to water/salt/compression, or to the meds I've tried for the most part. Midodrine used to help, but not as much anymore now that I'm severe. I'm worried that I'm a lost cause, because it's really bad
Sacral cranial therapy is amazing

My interventional pain management doctor! She's the only one who's been able to make a dent in my pain levels in over a decade.
@AudaCity thatās so amazing! Iāve never heard of that kind of treatment. What kind of things do you do?
@Sweettooth she does ultrasound guided cortisone/toradol/lidocaine injections and also manages my pain prescriptions and PT and stuff as well as recommending new splints or braces to try out to keep me from over extending. She's so cool and she also always has an underwater video playing when it's injection time and it's so soothing.
My Metoprolol + my cardiologist has changed my life. I also get sodium chloride iv infusions 2x a week and they definitely add to it. I tried midodrine, but i didnāt find it helped as much :)

@Sweettooth my doctor is Georgios Hartas in Los Angeles. He specializes in pediatric cardiology and pots for people of all ages!
My cardiologist by far. He prescribed me Midodrine which has greatly improved my life and deceased my symptoms. He's also just a cool person which helps
@Lkbmotion definitely my neurologist!! She was the only one to actually listen!
