Dysautono...You may want to check into <BR/>Dysautonomia. <BR/><BR/>Dysautonomia is a general term used to describe a breakdown, or failure of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls much of your involuntary functions. Symptoms are wide ranging and can include problems with the regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and perspiration. Other symptoms include fatigue, lightheadedness, feeling faint or passing out (syncope), weakness and cognitive impairment. These conditions are often misdiagnosed.<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.ndrf.org/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748839515167845422.post-34042156005966334992009-02-09T16:02:00.000-06:002009-02-09T16:02:00.000-06:00hi tracie - i'm glad that the MS thing still seems...hi tracie - i'm glad that the MS thing still seems to be a scare vs. a reality...<BR/>just continue to be your own BEST health advocate - take care of your body everyday and keep pushing your doctors until you get to the bottom of it. i was mis-diagnosed over a dozen times with random diseases before a good doctor finally discovered that all of my symptoms were ovarian cancer...fortunately he discovered it in time. but doctors kept telling me it was all in my head and my abdominal pains were pms symptoms etc..come to discover my stomach pains were due to a grapefruit size tumor not me going crazy! anyway, keep advocating for yourself and keep good medical records of who you saw when and what they said and what your symptoms are day to day.<BR/>we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers - <BR/><BR/>xo, JennyLobotoMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975699477662736911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748839515167845422.post-31180978712510543742009-02-09T15:27:00.000-06:002009-02-09T15:27:00.000-06:00OK, so it is not the end, but at least you are on ...OK, so it is not the end, but at least you are on the right path. You have doctors working on you that you are comfortable with, no MS diagnosis, no spinal tap, no 3 hour test...... let's take it! I hear you on the "if you were a man" thing! I just switched my OB/GYN to a woman and I couldn't be happier! You hate to sterotype, but it happens too often to not think that it is true on some level.

You've been through a lot and I'm glad to hear you didn't need to go through the spinal tap.
