Is there anyone else out there with pure autonomic system failure?

I have lots of orthostatic hypotension but also underlying hypertension. Just would like to compare notes as to how others cope.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain & Nervous System Support Group.

Diagnosed with Dysautonomia in 2016 caused by tick infections. Autonomic Nervous System is dysfunctional and damaged. One of the main problems would be improper blood flow. A major problem. Many other issues derive from the nerve damage.

I HAD A TICK INFECTION AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME.

DYSAUTONOMIA resulted.
RESULT : nerve damage and autonomic nervous system issues.

I HAVE SEVERE BALANCE ISSUES THAT AROSE FROM THIS.

I ALSO NOW HAVE PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

It’s not fun. I’ve been taking 2 meds since 2016 but quit both meds 2 months ago. Just didn’t seem to be working anymore. Health seems to have deteriorated regardless as to my activity. So many mental and physical issues become a problem in dealing with these health situations.
