Fortunately, yes, I do watch molly berk, I've been subscribed to her for such a long time. Hmm I guess I could comment on one of her videos šŸ™

@perfectionist. Unfortunately Jacquie passed away. It was a shock and many youtubers in the chronic illness/ eds community did videos about it.

I think people just dont know or understand whats POTS is and from what I understand people tend to go undiagnosed normally. They may also be reacting that why due to just the abbreviated name. I actually just started watching this girl on youtube who is blind and has a guide dog names Molly Burkhe. Maybe she would be helpful? I also used to watch this person and her best friends who have chronic illnesses and service dogs called chronically jaquie (i forgot how its spelled).

I don't know I'd have to ask, but i just don't know if there is a dog for those things because every time I say I have pots, people sound like I'm crazy and out of my mind.

Why canā€™t your guide do also alert you to blood pressure changes?

I would ask around about getting a doggo that is trained/ will be trained for both. Many service dogs are trained for multiple tasks.

Yes I was going more towards a guide dog to. I've actually started to work on getting one. I'm working on my mobility training so that I can get going with that. ā˜ŗļø

Pots is something you can be aware of right? When you stand must be. Very cautiousā€¦? Blindness you canā€™t control so Iā€™d say seeing eye service dog. My best friend has pots. Before diagnosis sheā€™d pass out with zero blood pressure upon standing sometimesā€¦
