Hello All, I am new here. I have had POTS for about two years now. I have had to retire early on disability and now get social security. Reading all your posts have made me feel so much better. Now I realize that it is a REAL disability and I'm not just lazy. A short walk down a hallway gets my heart rate near 200. It is ridiculous and I can't stand stairs. Thank you all for the confirmation that this is no small problem. Now I don't feel guilty for not being able to do more. I also have two kids, one of which has just been diagnosed this week with orthostatic intolerance and he is only eight. I would love to hear from others about their symptoms and how it has affected them.
