You have to find the right person. Once you find the right partner, they won't mind your POTS/dysautonomia, even if it can be difficult to manage

Yes you just have to make them aware of the situation you're in.

It is difficult to both find it as keep it, sometimes by fear and ignorance about this condition, it leads to turn people away. At other times the patient walks away to the couple with their negative attitude. It is advisable to talk openly about the subject, which will display information about this condition. That both support and respect. Go to a counselor, sometimes the couple is seeking help and the patient is annoyed with him because he doesn't want to tell others what you have, do not accept the disease, there comes a time that they are separated. There are cases where the two investigate, and support, go to the doctor together and carry out activities together and are adapted to the situation of the patient with Dysautonomia

I met a person but you have POTS, I would like to continue knowing him well-but, I fear, for the things that I've read about this, for the moment does not work because they can't by the disease, I always try to give you the encouragement to continue well with your treatment but it takes five years and has not improved, and with the things I have read I think that is never going to improve, it is possible that people can control their disease and may have a normal life.? so if I think that it is very difficult, not only by the symptoms if not the is sometimes be in a bad mood and has very low self-esteem. As you do you do to maintain a good relationship and for that to work?
