The Anxiety from within

That Anxiety feeling. Is that what it is? Are we having an "Anxiety Attack" or is it all in our heads?  That awful feeling that comes from within. It just comes out when ever it feels like if for no apparent reason at all. That feeling is horrible, debilitating, someone call me a shrink or give a pill to stop it! People are looking at me like I am insane or just plain crazy. Am I? Why do I feel this way? I "HATE" it! Why is this happening to me? I asked why? I just want to go for a walk  in the beautiful sun. I want to go to the beach but, I can't. I want to be in open spaces but, I can't. I want to go to the mall, make it to the second floor but, I have to come down, fast. My chest is pounding. My hands are sweaty, I am going to pass out. No one in my family understands me. They think I am insane. Get me out of this nightmare, PLEASE!  OK....can you relate to what I am saying? Because if you can, your not alone. This happens to many people with, ...

Weather pattern causing you pain

Hope this blog finds everyone well! I will like to share today about body pain with Dysautonomia. The pain with this disease is no fun. We call it "Fibromyalgia". It is in the same family. This pain gets out of control with the type of weather patterns we been having lately all around the world. We do know when it rains outside, you always here people complaining about their joint pain, arthritis is acting up, sciatica, etc. It really does. The problem is when you have Dysautonomia, those pains are ten times worse then the average person. Yet, they do not understand this because, they never heard of this disease or, do not have it. That plain and simple. This pain your having has allot to do with the earth atmosphere. The  barometer pressure of the weather patterns.You can't get any relief  what so ever lately. You find yourself complaining more about your pain then any other time of your life with this disease. It seems to happen quiet frequently. Well ,that is ...

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)" ...

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 oft...

"Dysautonomia affects men and women"

I wanted to write a little bit about this disease on how it does affect both sex. As you will see, many women are not afraid to share their health concerns and issues compared to men. You will see many blogs of women and Dysautonomia but, where are the men? Very few men will share. Dysautonomia is not just a female disease. It is a disease of both male and female. We need more men to share their stories who have Dysautonomia or, believe they have it but are afraid to come forward with it. Good example on how I know is because my son has Dysautonomia. That is correct. My son got it from "me". It is called "Genetics" in my case. We all have hormones in our bodies and, hormones play a big part with Dysautonomia. The reasons this disease is on the rise here in America because, this disease arises from different parts of Europe. Especially Germany or, Russia as a good example of where it might of started. We are mostly or, maybe all pretty mixed with different et...
