Hi,all I can add to this question is that I feel it is quite possible that pots and shy-dragers multiple system atrophy,primary autonomic failure could all just be the same things. I was diagnosed with Primary autonomic Failure(possible Pots) just recently and am treated with fludro-cortisone,beta blockers and salt etc Also the waist high surgical stockings. My Neurologist says they can only watch for a long period of time and treat symptoms. It is extrenely rare and they are watching me for shy-dragers. That, from what I can understand from my G.P. is what happens with these disorders. Takes time to reach a full diagnosis of Shy-dragers or M.S.A. and most of the time it is diagnosed after an autopsy. I hope this helps but if you could add anything to help my understanding,as I am new at this,diagnosis.(Not the debilitating symptoms), I would appreciate any input. My Neurologist told me that I must know my own disease as there won't be many (in the medical profession) who will know it. So, from that I have had to do a lot of research etc. As well as know my body well., and know my limitations etc.

Shy-Drager syndrome, also known as Multiple System Atrophy, and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) are different conditions with distinct symptoms and underlying mechanisms. While some symptoms may overlap, they are not the same disorder. It is possible for someone to have both conditions simultaneously, but a proper medical evaluation is necessary for accurate diagnosis and management.
