Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, is a debilitating condition that robs sufferers of things big and small, every day. The ability to hold a job. A night out with friends. Basking in a nice, hot shower. Clarity of thought. But it does not steal the strength it takes to define themselves. Faces of POTS carries a powerful message: We are much more than our diagnosis.
Collaborating with Dysautonomia International, award-wining photographer Adam Jacobs, himself a POTS sufferer, captured 28 faces – resilient, fierce, curious people –
to help raise awareness about POTS. Here are their faces and their stories.

We invite individuals living with POTS to join the Faces of POTS awareness campaign. We encourage you to share your photo on social media. Use two hashtags, #FacesofPOTS and an adjective that best defines you, like #Strong #Determined #Grateful, etc. Let us know how you are more than your diagnosis. Tag Dysautonomia International's social media accounts too and we'll share some of your stories on our social media channels. We'll also be sharing all of the photos and stories from this website on our social media channels throughout the month of June 2020.
