Understanding POTS and Misdiagnosis with Dr. Erin Nance | Let’s Talk About the POTS Life

In this episode of Let’s Talk About The POTS Life, host Dr. Kelsey Botti and Britney sit down with Dr. Erin Nance, an orthopedic hand surgeon based in New York City, better known to her close to 1M followers as @littlemissdiagnosed.

Dr. Nance shares how her personal journey with chronic illness inspired her to raise awareness about commonly misunderstood and misdiagnosed conditions—including POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Together, they unpack what it’s like to navigate the medical system as both a physician and a patient, the emotional stages of misdiagnosis, and how empowering patients with credible information can change the future of chronic illness care.

They also explore FeelBetr, Dr. Nance’s new digital platform connecting patients with reliable, physician-approved health information and community support.

Tune in for an honest, uplifting, and informative conversation about the intersection of patient advocacy, medical education, and the power of social media in reshaping chronic illness awareness.
