## Resource

In this episode of Let’s Talk About The POTS Life , host Dr. Kelsey Botti and Britney sit down with Dr. Erin Nance, an orthopedic hand surgeon based in New York City, better known to her close to 1M followers as @littlemissdiagnosed . Dr. Nance shares how her personal journey with chronic illness inspired her to raise awareness about commonly misunderstood and misdiagnosed conditions—including POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) . Together, they unpack what it’s like to navigate the medical system as both a physician and a patient, the emotional stages of misdiagnosis, and how empowering patients with credible information can change the future of chronic illness care. They also explore FeelBetr , Dr. Nance’s new digital platform connecting patients with reliable, physician-approved health information and community support. Tune in for an honest, uplifting, and informative conversation about the intersection of patient advocacy, medical education, and the power of social media in reshaping chronic illness awareness. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:24 Meet Dr. Erin Nance 01:02 The Power of Social Media in Diagnosis 02:28 The Importance of Patient Experience 03:53 Challenges in Diagnosing POTS 06:32 Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause 08:34 The Role of Health Literacy 14:05 The Emotional Journey of Misdiagnosis 18:20 The Need for Credible Health Information 20:49 Introducing the Feel Better App 24:03 The Power of Short-Form Content 24:33 Creating a Space for Conversation 25:38 The Role of Social Media in Medical Information 26:20 Going Viral with Engaging Content 28:41 Combating Medical Misinformation 31:13 The Importance of Patient Stories 34:39 Challenges in Diagnosing Complex Conditions 41:33 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Connect with Dr. Erin Nanc…
