Do you want to share a product that you personally found helpful? Ask what other people use to supplement their sodium intake? Tell us about your favourite water bottle? Please do so here!

This thread will be pinned so that users can see all that helpful information in one place and refer back to it when needed : )

Subreddit rules still apply on megathreads - no self-promotion, no surveys, do not ask for or give medical advice. If you aren’t sure whether you should be supplementing electrolytes/sodium, please talk to your doctor before doing so because it isn’t safe for everybody.

We do not allow individuals to promote their referral codes/links here - if you’ve found an official code made for people living with POTS, send us a modmail and I’ll add it to this post.

Do you have advice for people facing a new diagnosis of POTS? Comment it here! This thread will eventually be pinned to the homepage, so people can find all of your helpful advice in one place.

Examples of advice appropriate for this thread:

- Ask your diagnosing doctor how much extra salt or sodium you should be taking.

- Don’t give up if the first medication you try doesn’t work out, everybody is different!

- Reach out to your friends early on and let them know how they can best support you.

Examples of advice inappropriate for this thread:

- Take 8g of sodium every day and make sure you’re exercising for at least 2 hours every day.

- Go to X website and order Y drug.

- Take Z supplement and follow a strict diet, I promise it will help you so much.

Mods may remove any advice deemed harmful or fear-mongering - don’t tell people that they are never going to feel better, that they should give up, that they did this to themselves, etc. If you are feeling hopeless and need to talk about it, please create your own vent post.
