I've had to get IV fluids 3 times in the last few months due to dehydration despite my best efforts of lots of salt, water, and gatorade.
I tried florinef in the past and it made me feel worse. My doctor's office offers IV's but I have to pay out of pocket which I think is ridiculous for a condition which requires me to get IV fluids from time to time. Anyone else with POTS that has ideas on how to manage this without breaking the bank?

I use florinef, but there was supposed to be different med. Sorry cannot remember the name.

I use Florinef, midodrine and a beta blocker. I had to gradually work up to the florinef dosage, so you may need to cut up pills and see if that works for you.
