I am having symptoms of what I think could be autonomic neuropathy. It started a few weeks ago. I have blood pooling in my feet when I sit or stand, I get full after just a few bits of food and I have decreased sweating. I sweat when I exercise, but not all over my body. But if I'm in the heat, I don't sweat correctly. Plus I get the chills easily also. I am in the middle of getting some testing done, but don't see a neurologist until mid-August which worries me. I've read that if it is AN it is important to try to find a cause and treat it.

I was also recently tested with an antibody that is linked to mixed connective tissue disease, but I was not actually diagnosed with any autoimmune disease yet since my only symptom is Raynauds. I am wondering if I do have AN if it could be autoimmune related.

I have really low white blood count. My GP is re-running those again, plus other blood tests to check other things. I have a stomach emptying test in a week. The heart doc wouldn't do the tilt table test at this point, but did a echo and holter test both of which were "normal."

I am having a really hard time with dealing with the possibility of having this. I have health anxiety anyway, but I have been obsessing over this. I am so scared I will be disabled and a burden on my family.

Any encouragement would be great. I'm in a bad place.
