Dysautonomia and Awareness

I have not written on this blog for a very long time now. Reasons are because of so much awareness is out. Many people are finally taking Dysautonomia seriously, and is on the rise. I have seen many blogs, articles, charities, communities,videos, and the list just grows. Also, doctors are more aware of this Dysautonomia, and more and more doctors are taking this seriously.

Dysautonomia is an Autonomic Nervous System Imbalance, or Dysfunction. A good example in short is like, being a quart low on fluids. I received my knowledge through a doctor who has it, and her mother had it, badly. She diagnosed my son with it. I too have this Dysautonomia. The apple does not fall far from the tree.

Many variety of people have this Dysautonomia that affects us all differently, yet same. I meaning same, do to the dysfunction of your Autonomic Nervous System. Many are known to have the condition which is called "POTS" in short. The full name is called: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Most doctors diagnose their patients with POTS.

 Living with this Dysautonomia has a wide variety of symptoms, and can be debilitating. For Example: Some people are using wheelchairs and others can function with it. Many faint from it, and others have that feeling of faint that lingers. You can have a racing heart, or a slow heart rate. Your symptoms can come and go at any given time of the day. There are no warnings. It just hits you, and you have to deal with it the best way you can which, can be very frightening. It has a tendency of turning your flight -fight on and off allot, which causes much anxiety, and depression. After all, the Autonomic Nervous System which is part of the Central Nervous System, plays a massive role in our bodies.

 Medications are given to many when the symptoms arise. Of course many of us have sensitivity to these medications, which can work very well for a normal person, with a well functioning Autonomic Nervous System. For us, it is trial and error. Its frustrating for the doctors and the patients who deal with this disorder. Lowering dosages can help, or taking alternative medications can help. Many go holistic wise, or a little of both. After all, we are all different and none of us are quiet the same. Could explain why we can't actually just find one cure for all. We might be in the same boat, yet our bodies are doing something different from others, who suffer with this Dysautonomia. Its a very complex illness to have.

 I'm glad to see that people are aware, and taking this seriously. It's nice to see others stand up for each other, and help out the best way they can.  My advise is to do the best for you, and keep strong and never give up. You will be able to find ways to help yourself  in the long run. You know your body better than anyone else, and you have to live with it. Eventually, you will have methods to help you feel better in one way or another. Also, always good to speak to others who have it, and understand you. Till next time, peace and hugs.

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

The Benefits of being a Vegetarian/ Vegan with Dysautonomia

Hello Everyone! So lately my son and I have also changed our diets. We are still "Sun Gazing" which you can learn about that in my other blog I wrote last month.We have also did some research on Vegetation and how it benefits our bodies. And of course our lovely fruits.  We are no longer eating meats. It was hard for me but it can be done. My son is a full Vegan. I am a Vegetarian. Yes. There is a difference.  Being a Vegetarian you still eat dairy. Being a Vegan you do not. Most people around the world are Vegetarians because it helps you in so many ways and many people are getting smarter about taking better care of their system/body. Being a Vegan is very strict. You will be eliminating so much but it is much more healthier then being a Vegetarian. Did you know being a Vegan, you can still get your Vitamin D? Many Vegetables have Vitamin D. Kale for one is a good example. Mushrooms is another one that is loaded with Vitamin D. You can do some research on the intern

Where, who, has the cure for Dysautonomia?

Is there a cure for Dysautonomia? Well so far all the doctor's who know about Dysautonomia can do is just treat each symptom that arises in your body, and try to make you feel as normal as possible depending upon the health issue you have with your Dysautonomia. Remember, Dysautonomia is not the killer and Dysautonomia effects mostly your Central Nervous System.  My son has Dysautonomia and he is a teen going through the changes. It makes it really hard on teens due to the hormonal changes they will go through while they start moving into adolescences to become adults. It is very hard to find a cure since we are talking about the Autonomic Nervous System which is very wide. Different people have issues with the ANS system and they can vary from many different types of diseases. I was told from someone very dear to me who knows of someone who has Dysautonomia that they tried some sort of pill that was in some part of Germany, from a doctor there. They do not remember the name of
