Autonomic Nervous system vs dysautonomia

Sure, it was idiopathic neuropathy only. Any other health woes I may have today are post-neuropathy onset. The neuropathy has limited the use of my hands and feet. My professional requires a lot of computer proficiency and my fingers don’t type adequately. Carrying things to meetings would require assistance that companies, even large ones, can’t afford. If I had a talking/mental job, I could probably do it, but medications have side effects to deal with. I think the bottom line would be how your main doctor caring for you assesses your ability. The sad thing is, we all believe the system has been abused, and it has… so sadly, it makes it harder and intimidating for those in real need to apply and prove.

@dbeshears1 Thanks again. Yes, sadly the system has been abused. Like you said, I would much rather work, feel well enough to do so, and make my full salary I worked so hard to achieve. I have idiopathic small fiber neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy. So far I haven’t found medication that helps with the widespread pain, daily constant headaches, and all the symptoms of the autonomic dysfunction. I have an appointment with Mayo Neurology in a couple weeks. They’ve already ordered more tests based on the medical records I sent them, despite the positive diagnosis from the punch biopsy, so I’m hopeful for better care and insights for my condition. I appreciate all that you shared with me! Wishing you well. Hugs! Robyn
