Any suggestions on affordable wheelchairs for the days when POTS makes standing impossible?

      depending on how bad your POTS can get or other conditions you may have, a good rollator might be a cheaper, lighter, easier to obtain option. If you think a wheelchair would be best, there are plenty of [relatively] cheap options on Amazon that I've seen, depending on your needs (how much weght you can lift/push, size of the chair, terrain you need it for, indoor/outdoor, etc.) I have ME and POTS, and I ended up saving up and fundraising for a Fold&Go Magshock electric wheelchair - and they are AMAZING. They are expensive, very expensive for me at least - but relatively cheaper than other, custom wheelchairs (it's a one size fits all).
