Hi Everyone,
In the interest of research 🙂 can you tell me if you feel worse if you lie flat on your back? How do you feel? What happens? Have you ever had episodes where you felt paralyzed, and were unable to move and perhaps even speak?
I have! I think I know why, but I wanted to hear from you all and see if we’re having the same funky thing going on here!
Thank you, my friends!
🙂 Diana

I”m not sure if I’m posting properly but here it goes. I am not diagnosed yet with anything other then a possible pain disorder. That is bull:) I believe along with two other doctors that I have pots. It all started 3 years ago,ugg, when I had a rotational adjustment by a chiropractor. I went home feeling odd and then by that night I could not move. I was stuck in bed with extreme dizziness, extreme nausea, extreme weakness, I could not move my right arm. Lasted 3 days. Then for a year and a half I had spells. ALl the time, to the point of going to emerg. Normal results everytime. Wasd rear ended a year and half ago and been 10x worse since…Does anyone else know of their pots being caused by neck injuries like these.
