A friend of ours recommended seeing a new PCP. She said his oldest son has POTS, so he knows a lot about autonomic issues. Turns out he used to be our family doctor for about 14 years, then he moved out of town. He's back at a different clinic now. So happy!
He walked in to the appointment and said it was nice to see familiar faces. He had already read about Lily's issues, which was impressive, as most other doctors we've had to retell her story over and over again. We decided to increase her Zoloft, as she was on the minimum. He doesn't want her on another medication yet so we can watch for any issues with the Zoloft.
He agreed that she needed to increase her water and sodium intake. The supplements she is on are good. He doesn't want her taking too much tylenol or ibuprofen, as those can result in rebound migraine's.
Lily loved him, and she hasn't liked any doctors lately. He wants to see her after her appointment with the electrophysicist/cardiologist in February. He said he has a vested interest in Lily's case as she's like his son. That was a good thing to hear from him.
