In this episode of the My POTS Podcast, Two veteran functional neurologists expose the dangerous trend of POTS misdiagnosis as functional neurological disorder (FND) that's leaving patients without proper treatment. Medical research on Frontiers, confirms that many patients with autonomic disorders are frequently misdiagnosed with FND, making it difficult to obtain further diagnostic and therapeutic care. Dr. Joseph Schneider and Dr. Adam Klotzek reveals why POTS patients are being labeled with psychological disorders when they actually have measurable neurological dysfunction from brain injuries. They discuss shocking cases, including a 26-year-old pilot whose hands leak water like faucets after car accidents, yet doctors diagnosed him with functional neurological disorder instead of treating his obvious brain trauma. The conversation exposes why traditional cardiology approaches miss the central nervous system dysfunction driving POTS symptoms and demonstrates how targeted cerebellar therapy can reduce severe autonomic symptoms by 50% in a single session.
This episode challenges the psychiatric labeling of POTS patients and reveals the real neurological causes behind heat intolerance, exercise intolerance, and autonomic dysfunction.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
