This book has a lot of information not just for a patient but for physicians as well.

Useful starting point if you know nothing about POTS, but if you have a solid understanding of the basics (mechanism, salt, compression, etc), there isn’t much new here.

Informative, but not very well written. Repetitive with lots of formatting errors and the layout was funky. I ended up just reading through the full "For Patients" part as a whole, then going back and reading the "For Physicians" part, which didn't really go into as much detail as I'd have liked. But still, it was a good read for general education about dysautonomia.

Great information, and I love the format of dual information for patients and practitioners. Could use another run-through for grammatical errors, plus elimination of the sexism and fatphobia in the information presented.

This is definitely an informative book, but it's been 8 years since it was written and it could definitely use an update. 8 years is a long time in the medical world. I liked the short chapters and concise writing style. Everything was explained in a simple and easy to understand manner. I do wish the book was longer and more exhaustive! But it was a good and informative read.

Really helpful and informative. Took one star off because it lists "go back to school for biological sciences" as a possible treatment plan. Um, what?

A great starting point for anyone new to the realm of dysautonomia. The information, for better or worse depending on the reader, is easily digestible and understandable. Those with medical knowledge may find it a bit too basic, but there is still new information inside. My only real complaint is the formatting - not just that it needed an editor, but rather than have the different sections be split by even and odd page numberings, it should have been a front section for patients and a back section for clinicians.

It was ok as a starting point, not super groundbreaking. I found the “for patient” and “for dr” layout annoying, just split it into two. And pick a font. The categories of drugs was useful.
