Summary
A person with POTS did two or three 40-hour water fasts, taking bone broth and electrolytes, and noticed no improvement either during or after. Leg pain eased while fasting but came back once they started eating again, and a headache during the fast stopped when they ate. They still had POTS and constant leg pain at the time of writing.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
