My least favourite experience to have with other neurodivergent folks is the conversation where they’re really good at something I’m struggling with, and I ask how they did it, and they say “oh well I just work really hard at it”

October is Dysautonomia Awareness Month. Dysautonomia, also called autonomic dysfunction, is a group of disorders that affect the autonomic nervous system.⁠
⁠
Many people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) also have a type of dysautonomia. There are different types of dysautonomia with different symptoms. ⁠
⁠
People with EDS and HSD most commonly have a form of orthostatic intolerance. “Orthostasis” means to stand upright, so orthostatic intolerance refers to symptoms that occur due to standing up or being upright.⁠
⁠
The two most common types of orthostatic intolerance are:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Orthostatic hypotension (OH) — low blood pressure on being upright.⁠
2️⃣ Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) — an abnormal increase in heart rate when standing without a drop in blood pressure.⁠
⁠
Symptoms of dysautonomia include: ⁠ ⁠
⁠
● Tachycardia (fast heart rate)⁠ ⁠
⁠● Palpitations (feeling the heart racing or pounding)⁠
● Hypotension (low blood pressure)⁠
● Lightheadedness ⁠
● Presyncope (a sense of being about to faint)⁠
● Syncope (fainting)⁠
● ⁠Blurred vision⁠
😶‍🌫️Brain fog (problems with concentration and memory)⁠
● Headaches⁠
⁠● Chest pain ⁠ ⁠
⁠● Shakiness⁠
💤Chronic fatigue⁠
⁠● Exercise intolerance and feeling worse after exercise⁠ ⁠
● Swelling and/or discoloration of the legs after standing for short periods of time⁠
● Cold, discolored hands and feet⁠ ⁠
⁠● Temperature dysregulation⁠ ⁠
🥵Sweating⁠
● Sleep disturbance⁠
● Gastrointestinal issues⁠
● Nausea⁠
🚽Bladder dysfunction⁠
⁠
Stay with us throughout October as we talk more about dysautonomia, how it's diagnosed, and management. In the meantime you can learn more about diagnosis and management here: https://t.co/RHV28MfFL5
