Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi, my name is Rebecca I am sixteen years old, and I suffer with a condition called PoTS, which is a debilitating condition that affects me on a daily basis. I have had PoTS for two years and it affects me in many ways. The denominating factor is fainting, which can sometimes happen up to fifteen times a day. This is closely pursued by migraines and a total lack of energy which forces me to literally sleep on the spot, whether this be in the middle of my school corridor, middle of a family dinner, parties, or in a history lesson (but that is justified!) Over the last two years I have had many tests and procedures completed and these are still on going, with new research that creates better medication with less side effects. I am currently taking twenty-three tablets a day, which have improved my symptoms, but I still suffer on a daily basis. All donations will be going to PoTS UK, to raise awareness and boost their research into this condition.

PoTS UK was founded by a group of healthcare professionals with PoTS who recognised the need to increase awareness of this condition. We are passionate about educating and supporting patients, family, friends and medical professionals about this widely unrecognised and misdiagnosed condition. We do this by sharing up to date evidence and resources. We also work with healthcare professionals and other charities in the UK and abroad, and advocate for our members by seeking better NHS services, more research, and targeted treatments for people with PoTS.
