New Member/Autonomic Failure
Hi! I am so glad I found this site! I am 41 and have been sick for about 9 years with what seemed like strange, unrelated, and worsening symptoms - dizziness, digestive issues, poor circulation, tremors, and complete heat intolerance. I've been to every kind of doctor you can imagine, most of which either say I have anxiety or that they know something is wrong, but they don't know how to fix it or what to do it. I recently visited Mayo and was so glad to finally hear someone tell me i am NOT crazy! I'm going through extensive testing and consultation, but appear to have some type of autonomic failure. I want a diagnosis, but sometimes scared to hear this all. I realize we all want a quick, magic cure. So now I'm trying to focus my energy and accept the adjustments I've had to make in my life - and they are very hard with 3 children and being so independent for the majority of my life. The heat problem is so severly limiting, I absolutely hate it. I do not sweat at all and that is really bad living in a very hot area in the summer. I would love to hear from anyone with similar issues and I'm hoping to gain support from this community. Thank you!
Katie
