Re: EDS and POTS (dizziness)

[Guest guest]

Hi Ceri,

I have Hypermobile EDS (type III) and have had problems with orthostatic

intolerance for 15 years. The fainting and dizziness was a major problem 6

years before I was diagnosed with EDS.

I drink 4 cups of coffee first thing in the morning and avoid all caffeine

the rest of the day. To read more about this treatment, click on the FAQ

link from the NDRF website listed below.
