After nine months of struggling with many dehabilitating symptoms and fighting for a diagnosis, Katie Mork came to Mayo Clinic in February of 2011. Within a half an hour, Dr. Marc Patterson diagnosed her with POTS.
Listen to Katie’s testimony on the long struggle and the eventual relief upon receiving a diagnosis right away at Mayo Clinic.
Katie’s mother, Corrie Mork, offers her unique perspective on this roller-coster of a journey.
My daughter was also diagnosed at Mayo with P.O.T.S. back in October of 2009. While her condition has improved mostly through exercise therapy she still cannot function as a normal 20 year old. What has made the difference for Katie? I would love to know in case there is some medication that my daughter has not tried that could help. Right now she takes midodrine. I thought I understood Katie to say she does not have the problem with the blood pressure which I think is the biggest factor in my daughter’s condition and maybe that is what is keeping her from moving towards the ability to not be so lightheaded and tired. Any insight you can provide to her recovery would be appreciated. Thank you.
I was recently diagnosed with POTS after being told by many physicians that I was anxious or depressed. It is a huge relief to finally have an answer for all of my horrible symptoms.
