Has anyone heard of MALS as a cause of hyper POTS?? I’m going to a doctor for it tomorrow but it seems if you have hyper pots, EDS, and gastric symptoms it’s likely the cause! And can be fixed with a lapro surgery! Basically the celiac artery is compressed and causing regulation probs

      I had my MALS release surgery two years ago and it got rid of most of my pain after eating. The surgery itself however was a tough recovery, as it is abdominal surgery and EDS make it a little harder to heal

      I've actually had two MALS releases a year apart from each other and got some relief. I maybe have MALS pain 30% of the time now after eating

      I'm going to start with, this is my second day on this app. I am going to second with, I have chronic stomach pain and they are back and forth on if I have gasteoparesis or not. I also have POTS that had worsened lately. I have not been diagnosed with EDS. Honestly I'd never heard of it till I googled it. I have had many doctors mention I have hyper mobility, I have always bruised so easy, I have injured my ankle so many times I have arthritis in it, trouble controlling my bladder and bowels, lately I've been struggling to stay warm and I've already had my gallbladder out plus had a CRP test done that was 10.15 (max normal is 3) and concerned my doctor greatly. This information may have changed my life. "Curable" is never something I could have never imagined. I've been looking for one answer for so long. Obv, I can't say this is 100% fact yet. But the idea of there even being 2 curable condition that causes almost all of my physical ones... Gives me so much hope
