## Resource

Julie's recovery from POTS and other serious conditions involved an epic tale of sheer determination, next-level advocacy, some unconventional treatments (which we are not endorsing: talk to YOUR doctor about what is right for you), a lot of internet research, traveling across the country to see a doctor with availability, and even winning a related lawsuit in the meantime. She discusses how she ultimately got treatment with 4 stents for her venous compressions, and how that has made a big difference.
