Pots syndrome affecting my life. salt, fluids, florinef (fludrocortisone) didn't help. now starting midodrine. missed days of work.how to get work to understand?

The best way: is to have a frank discussion with your supervisor(s) about your medical condition. Days missed for medical care may be covered under FMLA rules (Family Medical Leave Act) If your employer has a human resources Dept or a EAP (Employee Assistance Program) all the better! Hope this helps! Good Luck Dr Z
