Default Some interesting information

Hi,

over the years I have posted on this site about dysautonomia and the link with autoimmune diseases. Many of you have commented in the past about having low blood pressure / palpitations / tachycardia.

http://http://www.dysautonomiaintern...age.php?ID=180

This link from Dysautonomia International has some interesting information especially points 3 and 4.

I hope that if you are having the symptoms of PoTS (a type of dysautonomia) you find the link useful.

Rach x

Thanks, Rach. There are so many "overlap" diseases, and so many people who have more than one thing going on.

I'm sorry you have had to go through so much. I would not want to have POTS. I can't imagine getting sick every time I went to sit or stand up!

BTW, guys, Rach writes in her blog in a way I wish I could. A couple of her latest posts on illness are exceptional.


Annie

Hi Annie,

Thank you for your lovely comments.

I had a lady contact me yesterday through my wordpress version of my blog
http://www.themyastheniakid.com she lives in Australia and one of her children has symptoms that are very similar to mine. Apart from the fact her son was born with ptosis. I have left a comment saying it sounded it sounded like a type of CMS ( I would never have known about CMS with out you!) and gave her the link to this forum.

I really hope she joins up and can get some help with trying to find the answers for her son.

Thanks again for such kind words about my blog.

Rachx
