Neighbor’s Granddaughter Has Pots

[Been There]

A neighbor woman that I frequently talk with at the local coffeehouse in the mornings was telling me this morning about a disease called POTS or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. I never heard of this disease or illness until today.

She said her 9 year old granddaughter was vaccinated for HPV, or the Papilloma Virus. Two days after she got the first injection, (it’s done in 2 injections, 6 months apart), she would become very dizzy and pass out. As the weeks past, the symptoms have become worse. The little girl now either becomes very dizzy to the point she has to lie down for a half hour, or she just passes out where she is sitting or standing.

Has anyone ever known anyone else’s child that has had this happen to them? I appreciate any feedback.

Yes. My BFF's daughter, now age 22, a tall, beautiful dancer in great health, was diagnosed with POTS a year or so after she received the Covid vax (at age 18). Symptoms started a short time after but it was attributed to other things until she went to a cardiologist who diagnosed POTS and told her it was the vax that caused it. Doctor told her that cardiologists are seeing many more young people because of this. She has since had to give up dancing and is often so weak that she can't function well at much.

I just read that the CDC recomends getting the vax at age 11 or 12. Did she say why she had her grand daughter vacinated at 9? How terribly sad.

This is the information I have found so far on the cause of POTS​

Researchers aren’t sure yet what exactly causes POTS. Currently, they think there are multiple causes, which they’ve grouped into different subtypes of POTS, including:

• Neuropathic POTS: This happens when peripheral denervation (loss of nerve supply) leads to poor blood vessel muscles, especially in your legs and core (abdomen).
• Hyperadrenergic POTS: This happens when your sympathetic nervous system is overactive.
• Hypovolemic POTS: Reduced blood volume can lead to POTS. Low blood volume can cause similar symptoms that may overlap in neuropathic and hyperadrenergic POTS.

There’s also growing evidence suggesting that POTS might be an autoimmune disease, meaning your immune system attacks healthy tissue for unknown reasons.

I had heard plenty about POTS, a very difficult illness condition, for sure.

I had not ever heard of it being associated with vaccines before.

That does not mean it wasn't. I just had not heard that in the past.

I had heard about adults with POTS.

Sad for either , but seems more sad for childrento have it.

 

[January]

I have heard of people with POTS. No children that I recall.

Starting make me rethink the whole vaccine thing in general. There seems to be an awful lot of stuff popping up. Makes a person wonder what they're putting in these things.

 

[Imogene]

I have never heard of it. Like @Fritz it does make me wonder what these vaccines are actually made of

 

[OldFeller]

Starting make me rethink the whole vaccine thing in general. There seems to be an awful lot of stuff popping up. Makes a person wonder what they're putting in these things.

In 1986, a law was passed that restricted legal action against pharmaceutical companies for vaccine related illnesses.

Now RFK wants to reverse that.

All that I know is that the vaccine is called Gardasil and is manufactured by Merck. It is supposed to aid in the prevention of HPV and also some female cancers.

 

[GoodEnuff]

It is my understanding that HPV may cause cancer and not just in females. I personally knew a gay gentleman who died from rectal cancer, the type that is related to HPV. So sad.

 

[Della]

Yes. A few years ago my, straight, brother died of HPV mouth cancer.

He had always been very healthy, didn't smoke, played tennis every day. One day he passed out on the golf course, went to the ER, they kept him overnight for tests and the next morning a doctor came in and said, "You have cancer and it's terminal."

When he called me to give me the awful news I told him that HPV mouth cancer is at almost epidemic proportions among baby boomer men. it's what Michael Douglas had.

It's more dangerous for men because if they get the virus they often don't have any symtoms. It goes underground and years later cancer develops.

 

[Flarbalard]

Symptoms sound very familiar, but pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with vaccines in people I know. The symptoms can be from other causes and I've known these folks for decades and they've had them as long as I've known them. One of which I was involved with when we were teenagers--she had it since she was 9.

I hadn't heard of the specific syndrome till just now.
