A new Beta Blocker for those with Dyautonomia

Hello everyone! It has been a few weeks since I have not written. I been dealing with different doctor's for my son and getting new information all the time. Seems like this time we are finding doctor's who have been very helpful. I like to thank the Children Hospital Cardiologist in Boston for being very supportive and a great help. Recently my son was put on a Beta Blocker.  It is called Betaxolol. (Betaxolol relieves anxiety and panic symptoms much faster than antidepressants. It works within 1-3 days while antidepressants take up to 12 weeks.) He takes a .5mg a day. To remind you, people with Dysautonomia are sensitive to medications. If they take normal dosages they will get most of the side effects. It is important to take small dosages because your body is 80 to 85 percent low on fluids. What this Beta Blocker is doing for him is controlling his hard throbbing palpitations that never go away. It is with him 24/7. The palpitations is another main symptom most complained about who have Dysautonomia. Well, so far he has been on it for 2 weeks and he does not have that hard pounding palpitation he's had since he hit his teenage adolescent life. One symptom relieved from his body so far. More to conquer.

I was skeptical at first because he has low blood pressure and very nervous thinking his blood pressure would drop more. Well, it did not. Thank god! : ) There is hope yet and there are doctor's out there that are willing to help. The more we get the word out the more they will take this more seriously. With everyone writing there blogs about it, the word is getting out. Great job all!!!

I will speak in my other blogs about teenage children with Dysautonomia. It is harder for them since they are going through the hormonal changes. Also, I still will talk about nutrition and exercise in the other blogs as well. There is allot to talk about and allot to express to help those in need and who are suffering with this disease.

Until my next blog, blessed be. : )

Dysautonomia and Smoking horrible combo for ANS System

It's been a long while since I have put up a blog. Like I said before in my other blogs that, it does take some time to write about it because I too go through it and, so does my son. I am able to share our experiences with Dysautonomia and, help out others who need the help and need the education on what happens to someone with, Dysautonomia. I also get my knowledge through educated doctor's from Europe who know this disease, very well. I have also read up on allot of other people who have Dysautonomia and read their stories on, their Blogs. To you all, my heart is with you and, if I can shed some light on you in some way, I will do my best. I know some are going to write a Book. Much blessing  to you as well on helping those understand about their disease that is very frightening when, most doctor's here in America have not researched it or learned it in,  medical school. My primary care doctor is one person who is honest and up front and did say that, he never learned ...

Piracetam (Nootropil) used for Dysautonomia in other countries

Well, I did say in my past blogs that I will find the medication that some from other countries use for, "Dysautonomia". I am not sure if it is the cure but,I am learning from the Doctor who is teaching me about Dysautonomia that it works and, from other resources in, other countries. I also have relatives in Europe so, I had an Aunt do some research for me recently and, speak to their medical field in their area. According to her, "Nootropil" is what they use for "Dysautonomia" and that you need a prescription for it. After hearing that I did, more research. I searched the internet and found Nootropil here in the, USA. We call it "Piracetam-Nootropil". When I looked up what we used it for I was very surprised to what, I read. It was not used for Dysautonomia but, for other things and other medical issues. We call it the anti-aging "Brain Drug". I read an ad that said: "Wake up your brain! - With Piracetam (Nootropil)" ...
