STARS Patient Information
Patient Stories
The patient stories section displays real life experiences of syncope from STARS members of all ages.
Reading about someone who has been through the same diagnosis, treatment and concerns can provide great reassurance, support and advice to others who are going through the same condition. Patient stories are an important way of getting the message out there. And this is where we really need your help. Would you be happy to share your story and help us raise awareness of syncope, RAS and PoTS?
If you would like to share your story then please email: info@stars-us.org.
We cannot guarantee that every patient story will be used but the more stories we have, the more awareness we are likely to achieve.
