Firstly I am not getting at anyone but not all of us know what initals like PAC stand for. And there have been other times when I've had to ask....can't remember when.

It would make posts much clearer if the first time the initals were used the full term was also added!!

With thanks.

Like what I'm suffering from with long covid.
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
POTS, much easier to write in.
Big problem with french news as they use initials all the time and we have to look them up.
PS.
You left an i out.

Have you had an official diagnosis of POTS yet?

France, and indeed forums, is full of incomprehensible initials. In the latter context, as Doug has pointed out, it's often the only way. Yes, an initial explanation would at least be mannerly. Must try harder!

Show me a doctor here who knows, understands it and I'll get one.
As Ive already said I had a full medical before christmas with many blood tests it cleared me 100% for all else.
Its not just in france where its not talked/ known about much but all over the world.

Read them in my many researches and know how to treat it.
Mine gets bad because of my very strong immune system.
Subject is now closed by me.
