Hey guys, as you all know I was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Long story short, all of the things your body does without you thinking about it.. digestion, heart rate, blood pressure, breathing. Is out of whack with me. This has probably contributed to my anxiety issues over the years. I still have the anxiety..but that's a whole other story. I am looking for help with natural supplements to support my body. Things that normalize blood pressure, heart rate...good for digestion. I am going to try working out.. EVEN THOUGH I STILL CANT GET OUT OF BED. I am bed bound, and wheelchair bound at them moment. otherwise my heart rate goes so high I black out. (great recipe for someone with panic disorder) I can barely sit up for a few minutes at a time. From what I read those things ease up over time.. I HOPE. and I still have some hope that my nervous system can repair itself..with the right tools. if you have any knowledge.. PLEASE HELP

peace at heart

Hey, ab123, Dorrie here. First I want to say how sorry I am you are having to deal with this. I don't have any experience personally, but have a friend with the same disorder. She's right in the middle of trying to find a good doctor willing to help her, and take this serious. But I couldn't read this, and not respond and tell you how sad this makes me feel for you. You are an awesome young lady, and you have been so strong!!! You've overcome a lot, and you must tell yourself, and believe you can get through this too. Faith is bigger than Fear. I think that anyways. Everyone is different. And that's okay too. We're supposed to be different. How boring would it be if we were all the same. Lol. Really!! Just trying to put a little smile on your face. I'm going through some very difficult stuff myself. Having involuntary body jerking in different places when I'm sleeping, or trying too, at night. I'll just about be asleep, and my hip and thigh will just jerk. Or my shoulder. Hands, feet, etc... I know it's waking the hubby up. I can't help it. I just detoxed off of narcotic pain meds, and it just started happening. Very strange. I know my friend with the same disorder as you, said she has this too. In her face. Her mouth and jaw mostly. Some other parts of her body too. Do you have any of this happening with you. Uncontrollable body movements (jerking)? Just curious. You will be in my thoughts and prayers though. I know it's tough on people. Hang in there, hon. Thinking of you, Dorrie

Hey girl, I'm so glad I could make you smile. That always helps me when I need it. I hope you are having the best Saturday as possible. Try to keep that pretty chin up, and never stop pushing yourself to get better. Don't push too hard. I don't want you hurt worse. But I do so want you to get better. I'm glad you're here with us. We need you, just like you need us. A pretty good gang all in all here isnt it?? Chat at you later. D.

Probiotics are a bit of a superfood. You can make them or buy them.

Shown to be beneficial when recovering from food allergies and intolerances, and even helping with mental health stuff like anxiety :)

Are your other drugs doing anything for you yet?

Only drugs that help is ativan or xanax...... Lol I bought some juice that is no soy no dairy organic non gmo. That is probiotic. I'm going to try that. And so far...today I feel okay.
