Isabel’s Story

“POTS Care Clinic is amazing, without them I don’t know where I would be right now.  I’m just blessed to have come across some wonderful, sweet people, who really care about people’s wellbeing.”

 

I want to first start off with praising Dr. Driscoll and the POTS clinic team for helping me overcome some of these horrific symptoms, they’ve been there for me to answer any questions and concerns I’ve had through my healing process.  I was diagnosed with POTS and I didn’t know what was happening to me, but all of a sudden, I couldn’t think, focus, short memory loss, migraines, intolerable shoulder pain, easily irritated, insomnia, mood changes, heat intolerance, difficulty staying alert, my breathing was so bad that I was literally gasping for air.  Been to several doctors, and all my tests would show negative results, which was so frustrating and left me in tears; and believed I was better off not living because I was alive, but I wasn’t living.  But Dr. Driscoll and Valerie kept telling me it will get better, to hang in there, but my symptoms were so bad that at that time I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to survive this.  But regardless, I kept taking my medications.  Four months later now and they were right, I am much better.   My shoulders don’t hurt any more, my migraines are better, I don’t have insomnia anymore, my focus is better, and I don’t have short term memory loss anymore.  I’m still in the process of healing with other symptoms, but everything is much better.   One thing I regret doing is that I was doing so well with my migraines that I stopped medication thinking I was healed, but no, that wasn’t the case.  I stopped it too soon, so that led me to know and believe that medication was helping me so I’m back on it and my migraines right away got better.

 

God gave Dr. Driscoll a gift to heal people that are suffering with these conditions. He gave her kindness, patience, and a great caring personality and the ability to communicate well; but my heart is saddened because I think of all those who are suffering and are going crazy wondering what is happening to them.  I wish she could reach more people, but those who she has reached and helped, we are very thankful and grateful for everything she has done to help all of us.  POTS Care Clinic is amazing, without them I don’t know where I would be right now.  I’m just blessed to have come across some wonderful, sweet people, who really care about people’s wellbeing.  The comfort part for me is that they will always be there for me in the future, and if I have any questions or need more advice and help, I can easily reach out to them.  Thank you all, and God Bless you!
