Dysautonomia: Types of Dysautonomia
Here is some of the different types of Dysautonomia:
* Local Dysautonomia
* General Dysautonomia
* Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
* Autonomic Neuropathy
*Genetics
Types discussion:
Most physicians view Dysautonomia in terms of failure of the sympathetic or parasympathetic components of the ANS(Autonomic Nervous System), but Dysautonomia involving excessive ANS activities also can occur.
Dysautonomia can be local, as in reflex sympathetic dystrophy, or generalized, as in pure autonomic failure. It can be acute and reversible, as in Guillain-Barre syndrome, or chronic and progressive.
Totally Different from regular Dysautonomia where people mistaken to think it is the same is:
Riley-Day syndrome is an inherited disorder that affects the development and function of nerves throughout the body. This is Familial Dysautonomia.
Familial Dysautonomia and Dysautonomia are "different". Many doctor's now about the Familial Dysautonomia. This condition is seen most often in people of Eastern European Jewish ancestry (Ashkenazi Jews), where the incidence is 1 in 3,700. The disease is caused by a change (mutation) of the IKBKAP gene on chromosome 9. It is rare in the general population.
I will continuously bring up these types through out my blog from time to time. It is important to know the different types.
