dysautonomia

[Guest guest]

For all of our benefit would you please describe what

dysautonomia

is.

Hey Bee,

Dysautonomia, also related to Mitral Valve Prolapse

SYNDROME, is a condition where the autonomic nervous

system is defective and does not work optimally. The

autonomic nervous system controls heartbeat,

breathing, digestion, blood pressure, and many other

processes that are not in our conscience.

There are many theories as to what causes it, stress,

bracing (tensing the body unconsciously), some kind of

malfunction during the early part of gestation in the

womb that harms the autonomic nervous system, etc.

Mitral valve prolapse is just one part of the body

that can not develop appropriately during the early

stages of fetal dvlpt. You can read about

dysautonomia by doing a search on Mitral Valve

Prolapse Syndrome, the syndrome part involves

dysautonomia. Most people have racing heartbeats,

skipped heartbeats, panic attacks, anxiety, low blood

pressure, irritable bowel, and on and on.

From what I have researched, I believe it to be a

chronic stored stress problem, many of us that had

very stressful/abusive childhoods stored all that

stress with no outlet and this impacts the autonomic

nervous system.

Anyways, you can heal it, I have for the most part, I

just have to really watch my stress level, exercise

daily and do the Weston PRice diet.

Bee, I would love to get off the Ambrotose, as it

costs a lot of money, but I have tried and failed

before. As I have said, I have also tried to go

without grains, only to have horrible blood sugar

crashes. One morning I ate 3 eggs fried in 2

tablespoons of coconut oil, within 2 hours, I felt

crashy. Can you help me with this Bee? I would be

willing to get off grains if my blood sugar could stay

stable. Would having a quinoa muffin be considered

eating grains?

The only grains I have had this week are soaked millet

and soaked quinoa. Do you consider Buckwheat a grain?

Thanks, Juli

I have chronic fatigue syndrome which is similar. Yes ems is one of the symptoms

& can be variable from day to day.

Hi, ,

 

Sorry my reply has been so long in coming!  I was not online for awhile due to

other things I needed to catch up on.  I, too, have been dxed with

dysautonomia.  And I feel certain that emfs do indeed interfere with the

autonomic nervous system and cause worsening of the symptoms.  I was found to

have orthostatic hypotension and mitral valve prolapse and these, I was

told, were signs of " dysautonomia " .  That was 15 to 20 years ago and I never

have thought to go back and read up on new findings about this problem until you

mentioned it!  (Thanks).  Many here at this forum do appear to be affected in

the same way, .  Since I saw so few responding to your posts, I am

guessing that others here have either not been dxed with dysautonomia or

else the symptoms of it are sometimes solely activated by emfs.  (Therefore

might not show on a regular test???)  I am guessing here. 

 

The symptoms that I see most frequently here (and most often in women who join

this forum) are very much related to dysautonomia.  That might be because many

of these women also have CFS/ME, of which dysautonomia was considered (back when

I was dxed, at least), a subset.  Blood pressure plummeting (or soaring),

temperature changes-chills and sweats, heart rate changes and fibrillations,

electrolytes going out of balance, dizziness, inability to breathe or breathe

deeply, exhaustion....  these are the symptoms I am talking about. 

 

Just asking.... are you like me, do you respond when you are in the middle of

dysautonomic symptoms to calcium AEP and pantethine?  You may have never tried

these.  They really help me get back in balance and I'd be in a great deal more

misery if it were not for them (and possibly might not even be here at all.) 

What treatments do you take for dysautonomia, btw?  Back when I was dxed, I was

told to increase my salt and that was it!  lol  About 6 years ago, a

nutritionist told me to take cal AEP and pantethine to control my fatigue and bp

crashes.  I have found this combo does help also when I have es symptoms which

are autonomic related. 

 

Thanks for jogging my memory to look into more recent findings dealing

with dysautonomia!

I know there have been one or two posts about this before, but they were a long

time ago. I have a medical condition called dysautonomia, which basically mean

blood does not return effectively from my legs/hands back to my head. I take

treatments for it, but I seem to find that EMF makes the dysautonomia worse - or

maybe EMF caused it in the first place. I'll never know that. Does anyone else

have dysautonomia, or found it linked in any way to the EMF sensitivity?

Hi,

I am the one who recently mentioned dysautonomia on this board in connection

with temperature sensitivity. 

You can have an ANSAR test done to show the relative functioning (or

dysfunctioning) of your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. 

Sometimes insurance will pay (they did when it was ordered by my cardiologist in

2007, but I'm not sure if they will pay the follow-up ordered by my wholistic

LLMD):

Here's info about the test:

Hi Arlene,

So do you actually take anything specifically targeted for this or is it a

matter of keeping an eye on how your treatment for Lyme & Co. is improving

it or not?
