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, Joshua,
 
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 thisforum do appear to be affected in the same way, Joshua.  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 whojoin 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 combodoes 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!
