Does a g-suit work for everyone who has Orthostatic Intolerance (OI)?
The research seems promising; I have not found any information that says a g-suit does not work for Orthostatic Intolerance (OI). Each person’s results with a g-suit will vary because of differences in illness, symptoms, level of disability, expectations, and fit. It is possible that people who are bedbound could at least sit up better with a g-suit. Including a g-suit, there are many ways to treat Orthostatic Intolerance (OI). It may take some trial and error to find what is right for you. Discuss all options with your doctor and only make changes and try things under your doctor’s supervision.
