Hi Jan,

Is there anyone else in your extended family that have had autonomic dyfunction?

Are autonomic abnormalities and brain lesions are your primary symptoms? Has your doctor discussed/have you researched all the potential causes and symptoms of Dysautonomia?

From what I understand, PwMS don't often have autonomic abnormalities early on in the disease process, and most don't experience those symptoms at all. Some do, of course, but if there are other diseases that have both Dysautonomia and lesions/atrophy more commonly.

Either way, this must be scary. However, if they can nail down the cause, at least they may be able to treat the underlying illness.

Cherie
