Who else has Autonomic Neuropathy?

No, I have not really searched for treatments. For a time it seemed as if doctors took autonomic neuropathy as not real. My symptoms involve the GI tract, urinary, intestinal, all of which can be a part of aging and since I'm mid eighties I don't want numerous testing which would involve more pills that could interact with the ones I take for A.Fib and tackacardia and gastric reflux. I prefer to live with what comes but periodic episodes of fatigue lasting for several days are the hardest to deal with. I've been told it's part of A.N. but I would like to know if others deal with this. Often me BP will be very low when the fatigue appears and light headedness, pre syncope come with it. I think I will feel more relieved if I find it is truly part of AN.

I was diagnoses with AN in 2014. No real treatment available from VA Docs. My Primary says there is nothing new to treat or alleviate the disease It has become worse as I age. (71) I read from some of the reports that some sort of dementia is not uncommon. I experience that 24/7. Nothing more frustrating.. I saw an aunt start her decline in Alzheimer's many years ago. Cant help making that association. My type 2 went into remission after Bariatric surgery in 7/15 .. I was not diagnosed with type 2 until my 50th birthday. (98)/ The weight loss of 80 lbs has given me a reprieve but the tingling feels like low voltage current in parts of my body. That was noticed in late 70's..
