I'm new to the platform. Our 11 yr old was recently diagnosed with Dysautonomia without specification. He frequently has episodes of dizziness, nausea, vomiting shaking, sweating, blood pooling and stomach discomfort.
With him being autistic, he sometimes struggles to tell us how he's feeling. We're keeping a journal of what he's eating, what he's doing when an episode occurs etc. We haven't known any common factors other than stress in some cases.
Any information or insight we can obtain in order to help him would be greatly appreciated. ❤️
Hi, my name is Nashnest. I'm here because our 11 yr old autistic son has recently been diagnosed with Dysautonomia. We want to know more about it and how best to support him along with his other diagnosis of ADHD & Tourette's.

Hi everyone, I'm new to The Mighty. I'm struggling and looking to connect. I want to know I'm not alone. I have anxiety, depression, PTSD, continuing trama, and struggling with diagnosis and treatment for Dysautonomia: CRPS, POTS, and another nurologic condition. Everything is related to rare variations in genes I've inherited. My brain processes only 50% of serotonin and dopamine. Dysautonomia is not well understood and all conditions sitting under this umbrella are diagnosis of exclusion (rule out every other possibility then call it this). I've been struggling with flare-ups my whole life. This most recent flair has lasted 9 months. So far all I've done are tests, blood work, genetic labs, NuroZoomer, CT, MRI's, EEG, LP and still have EMG and TiltTable test coming. I am beyond frustrated with all of it. All I do is wait and there is no sense of urgency and no direct treatments. I'm basically living in bed. I can't work, I can barely walk, brain fog is so intense.
Is there anyone out there as rare as I am? Anyone struggling as hard?
Picture of me and my new dog for attention. He's cute, and I hope he brings a smile to your face.

Hi, my name is pcochran. I've been diagnosed with dysautonomia by my pulmonologist. since 2021 i have not felt like myself , countless specialists 2 surgeries no one could figure it out. rapid heart beat , low BP is the latest development ., venous insuffiency in both legs. i cant catch my breath after walking through the grocery store .palpitations. cardiologist laughed at me , i went to the ER one night bc of shortness of breath and swelling in my legs, i told er dr i was concerned about blood clots , literally he laughed at me , i got up left . i knew something was wrong with me but all my tests were negative , but no one would listen to me . my husband thought i was a hypochondriac . i was starting to think i was crazy maybe it was all in my head.i a np at the vein clinic did a assesment test on me i had straps on my ankles and wrist , sat down and stood up .
thats what led to a dysautonomia , idk what kind yet tho.
