My neurologist recommended this book to help me navigate POTS. It has a lot of useful information and the case studies are interesting (and relatable).
Like many, I’ve been through decades of “unusual” health issues before doctors have finally started recognizing the validity and widespread symptoms that come with POTS (and hypermobility, mast cell activation, etc.)
Reading this book is validating, as it describes so many of my health challenges, while also offering treatment suggestions. I particularly like the non pharmacological treatment section, which includes many lifestyle changes I’ve already made and some new ones to try.
While I’ve been resistant to taking medication, I like that this book has info I can reference when my docs make suggestions.
If you have POTS or other conditions that include orthostatic intolerance, this book may help you explore treatment options or simply feel validated in your experiences.

I have to say this has been the best book I’ve read in a couple of years about a complex illness. Whilst it’s possibly aimed at healthcare professionals, it is easily accessible to the layperson. It gives clear and concise overviews and outlines various medications and practices that are often used for the conditions. The best part is the informative case studies that show that more often than not the person has more than one condition and treating all parts ultimately leads to the greatest successes.
Treatments were holistic. They looked at all symptoms not just the one that was standout on any given day. Follow ups were timely and adjustments constantly made to find the optimum result as there is no “one size fits all.”
Honestly I wish more healthcare professionals in the UK read books like this.
