Ally, I'm adding you to my prayers.

I've been brainstorming -- actually what's been happening with Tyson got me started thinking. First of all -- this may have already been mentioned -- I know that Lizzie has a form of this -- I just don't know if anyone has suggested that some of the rest of us might also have it -- Autonomic Dysfunction. Here is a link:

From what I understand, you can have one or two symptoms OR a lot. You can have dysautonomia (like Lizzie) or something called POTS. You can have something that looks like Parkinsons or "maybe" something that "might" mimic MG.

Some of the symptoms that mimic MG include breathing difficulties, slurred speech, and visual disturbances. I don't know about droopy eyelids, though. One BIG thing is that with autonomic dysfunction, your heart rate and BP (from what I understand) can fluctuate WILDLY.

(Annie or Lizzie, if I have this wrong, PLEASE feel free to correct me!!)

Anyway, I probably should be posting this in the OTHER thread for ideas for Rach -- but, I just read Ally's post and felt like I needed to put this here.

I started the "other" post because I didn't want to clog up this one by Rach!

There are a lot of different autonomic disorders, with varying symptoms.
