Dysautonomia is a disfunction of the AutoNomic nervous system.
For the most part, it affects my heart. Kind of like the wiring goes haywire every so often, and my heart rate will fly up, or drop low. It also affects my sweat glands, my sight, and when I'm in pain it'll send a mixed signal as though I'm having an emergency, and my body will respond as though I'm running for my life. Heart rate goes up, pounding heart beat.
It is Not a panic attack, or like that, it's a physical medical thing that happens. Can get rather scary.
I was 28, or 29 when I was diagnoses with it.
I'm not 44.
It can also get completely screwed up after an EMG. Or, if I'm having problems, an emg, can snap it out of it.

Love Lizzie
