The Onset of Symptoms
Autumn’s POTS symptoms began gradually and early, then quickly escalated into overwhelming issues that soon impacted her life on a profound level. She experienced chronic fatigue, dizziness, and blood pressure problems that left her feeling isolated and unable to live a normal life. “I started passing out two to three times a week, what they diagnosed at the time with POTS,” Autumn recalls. Alongside the fainting spells, she experienced heart palpitations and chronic pain, and her autonomic nervous system was thrown off balance, leaving her bedridden for weeks at a time.
Her symptoms included blood volume issues, brain fog, and a feeling of extreme fatigue that made even simple tasks feel like a full-time job. Autumn’s life had changed dramatically—what was once manageable became nearly impossible. The sudden onset of symptoms made it hard to keep up with finishing school, and she felt increasingly detached from her routine. She says, “I was sick all the time and couldn’t figure out what was happening to my body. I was in bed most days, unable to participate in the life I had once enjoyed.”
Searching for Answers
Like many other POTS patients, Autumn’s journey was marked by numerous visits to doctors and specialists, and large amounts of money spent. The tests were exhaustive, and the answer was never really clear. It took two years for Autumn to get an official diagnosis of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and during that time, Autumn’s quality of life continued to decline. Her family and friends provided support, but the daily battle with chronic fatigue, dizziness, and fainting took its toll.
After extensive research and testing, finally, Autumn had a name for what she had been enduring, and with that came the possibility of finding treatment. Yet, the road to relief was far from straightforward. Autumn tried various medications, including beta blockers, to regulate her heart rate and blood pressure, but the improvement was slow. She faced bad days where symptoms like chronic pain and anxiety seemed so overwhelming that she didn’t get out of bed.
The Turning Point in Her Journey
Autumn’s turning point came when she realized she needed to take control of her health. “I had been in bed for days, and I knew I had to make a change,” she explains. She began exploring new treatment options and discovered re-origin, a brain retraining program designed to help regulate the autonomic nervous system and reduce symptoms of chronic conditions. This program helped Autumn manage her POTS symptoms in ways that medications hadn’t.
“I started noticing improvements over the next few weeks. My sensitivity to light and noise started to ease, and I even regained the ability to tolerate heat and cold,” Autumn shares. Slowly but steadily, she began to reclaim her independence. She was able to do everyday activities like grocery shopping, attending physical therapy, and spending more time with her family.
The Role of Support and Hope
For Autumn, support from the re-origin community and Momentum Group Coaching played a crucial role in her recovery. “The support was life-changing,” Autumn says. “I found hope in seeing others succeed, and it made me realize I wasn’t alone.” The encouragement she received helped her push through even the worst POTS symptoms, which many POTS patients know can be unpredictable and exhausting.
re-origin provided a sense of belonging. Autumn connected with others on similar journeys, and their stories of improvement motivated her to keep going. “The more I learned about POTS, the more I realized that I could get better. The road wasn’t easy, but every small improvement gave me more hope.”
A New Life After POTS
Today, Autumn is living a life that once seemed out of reach. She has regained her energy, her symptoms are manageable, and she has a renewed sense of hope for the future. “I never thought I would get to this point,” she shares. “But now, I’m healthier, happier, and more in control of my life.”
Autumn’s POTS recovery story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is a way forward. For people who are struggling with chronic fatigue, heart palpitations, and other debilitating symptoms of POTS, Autumn’s story offers hope. “There were days I thought I would never feel normal again, but now I can do things I never thought I’d be able to do again,” Autumn says.
