Between 1 to 3 million people in the USA alone have P.O.T.S., yet it remains an unknown illness to many. Many people likely have P.O.T.S. but have no idea. The syndrome is invisible to the eye, allowing those with it to hide in plain sight. It can manifest as simple symptoms such as dizziness from standing up, an inability to stand for long periods, blood pooling, and more. These seemingly trivial symptoms are often dismissed as the person being weak or lazy, especially for women who have been told this time and time again. However, there is a real cause for these feelings.
P.O.T.S. E-RAY is an art piece designed to reveal the hidden. It looks beneath the skin to show the illness at work. Just because you can't see it with the naked eye doesn't mean it's not there.
