My counseling appointment went alright yesterday. I'm thinking I might be in a phase of life where it would actually be better for me to take a break from counseling.

I saw a neurologist today for a second opinion about POTs. He apologized for the last neurologist I saw and is willing to try to help me out. He also suggested I see a cardiologist and try to get into the Mayo clinic that's where I live. I have an HMO insurance plan so I have a feeling Mayo isn't an option. I am grateful he listened to me and trusted what my PCP thought.

The neurologist prescribed a med that can help with POTs symptoms but, when I got home, I discovered a corticosteroid. I messaged my pdoc about this since prednisone caused hypomanic symptoms. My pdoc said, if I feel the POTs symptoms need the med, I can "judiciously" start them and that we would probably be able to treat any bipolar symptoms by increasing my meds. It's been so nice being bipolar symptoms free, but it's hard to teach when standing makes you feel light headed. I have to decide if the risk of bipolar symptoms is worth the possible reward of diminished POTs symptoms.
