The LC Care Doctor believes I have POTS, that was possibly brought on by Covid. He said I have “like” Dysautonomia symptoms.
Said only thing I can do for POTS, up my water and salt intake, and wear compression garments.
My Neurologist prescribed Gabapentin 100mg to me a couple of weeks ago to possibly help with the internal tremors. Honestly scared to take it, I just can’t not take any more symptoms from possible side effects. Still debating about taking it.
But unfortunately that was about it, I don’t go back until June to update him, but said if I need to see him sooner call.
So unfortunately nothing promising or hope.

It makes me crazy to be prescribed a new med with no follow up until months later! I have gotten the “call the office if necessary” directive too. If I call, I’m placed on a cancellation list and that’s it.
These doctors don’t seem to understand the DISTRESS we are experiencing. If the prescribed medication doesn’t help, we can’t wait 4-6 months for follow-up!
The Neurologist I have seen has handled me exactly the same.
