Can people with Dysautonomia / POTS work? What kind of work can they perform?
See how people with experience in Dysautonomia / POTS give their opinion about whether people with Dysautonomia / POTS can work and what kind of jobs are more appropriated for people with Dysautonomia / POTS
It really depends on the severity of symptoms and the field of work.
The research suggests that the number of patients that are disabled from dysautonomia ranges anywhere from 20% to 60%.
Different types of Dysautonomia also have different levels of disability as well.

Very much so. Everyone that is affected with pots is different as far as symptoms. Although, some people cannot work. If they do, it is usually light work. Work that they are not in their feet too much. Some people with POTS cannot work due to their symptoms.

It all depends on your mind set

It all depends on every person's situation. Some people can work full time while some others are bed ridden

Depends on the person.. some can handle full time others part time and some can't work at all.

People with POTs can work, though I would recommend an office job that has minimal lifting/standing times.

In my case - No.... not a 'standard' type job anyhow - but there are SOME folk with it who can and do lead semi productive lives (I have no clue how the manage to do it to be honest) - but they would probably not want to be working in jobs that require them to be upright for more than a short time, or in charge of heavy machinary, sharp objects, electrical wiring (live) etc probably would not be ultra wise.
Desk jobs, work with computers, jobs that they can set their own hours - so a home business where they are not locked in to set hours and not going to be letting clients down if they cant arrive dead on a certain hour etc..... Again it comes down to being aware of your own limitations and knowing what you can and cant do ...
Personally - I used to be a photographer, artist, designer, horse breeder/trainer/give lessons - however; I do not have the energy or reliability to do any of those things these days and too much pain in my hands to do much in the way of my artwork, to hold my cameras, or the dexterity to do the design work. The horse/farm management is out of the question now due to the dangerous situations I found myself in and the many many many injuries incurred as a result of ME putting myself in a spot I shouldnt have (mostly with OTHER peoples young horses and fencing equipent).

If you can work, it would be best in jobs that are not exposed to the sun, should remain standing for a long time or are exposed to high temperatures.
