    🤦‍♀️ you have explained me to the T.
    I have felt like a broken human and stopped receiving any care due to the high stresses of explaining these symptoms and going from doctor to doctor.
    I'll use this to talk to someone.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Interesting! Thanks for the wisdom about using a chair as an aide & not to jump to conclusions or a rush to judgement. I worked with the disabled for decades & sometimes people need a gentle reminder. Blessings! Jackie in upstate NY

      I recently saw one of a woman with a walking stick and looking at her phone. It was shared as if she was caught pretending to be blind. Phones have so many options, including voice options and extra large fonts with different contrast options. Blindness has such a scale but people often think of disabled as not able to do something in any way shape or form. I thought that years ago too.

    Hello. I have just found your channel and I was looking at going gray for women with short wavy hair and boom there you were. But now I have found this video and it's crazy because I have been diagnosed with tachycardia as a result of having covid-19. So I feel like we are Soul Sisters here girlfriend. I am now going to watch every video that you made and I'm just blessed to have found someone who has so many similarities as myself.

    To be honest with you I never needed to go to the PCP in the last three years until C-19 happened. My blood pressure is a bit up, I get dizzy when changing positions. My eyesight is delicate now a bit blurry. I get cold easier, in my extremities. Can’t get hot showers anymore, I fainted in it. My eyes move on their own. I get tired easily now than precovid. Mine is mild. I am happy to have found you.

    I have dysautonomia, and have known for a few years now (since around 8th grade?) However ended up completely refusing to acknowledge it as I felt it was simply "impossible" for me to have it (Internalized Ableism I suppose?). So now i'm trying to do all I can to learn more on how to 'care' for myself, Thank you! I feel like this information was very helpful and reassured me of things. Please keep up the Good work!

    I have a very rare disorder called hypogammaglobulinanemia. So rare, that there is not a 'month' for it, and most MD's have not even heard of it. I usually have to explain it to docs, unless it's a specialist. So, I understand how hard it is to have an 'ailment'. It's been hard. I appreciate your presentation. Thanks for sharing.

    Im 14 and anorexic, and this friday i just got diagnosed with Dysautonomia, and inappropriate sinus tachycardia, and all i wanted to say was thank you. When the doctor had just told me about this i felt like my life had just been ruined but after doing research, i found you, and you have given me so much hope. i connected with you through so many of your experiences and symptoms you listed out and i figured out there are ways to outgrow this, and even though Dysautonomia will always be apart of my life i can learn to live with it.
    so thank you so so so much

      I think this reply is showing from my second channel, but it’s me 💕 You have a lot going on right now and I’m sure it overwhelming at times. You’ll learn what works for you over time, both in medications and just how to better go about doing things. Try not to let rough days define your future and not let good days always go towards catching up. Finding balance is the goal. I’m thinking about you this afternoon and sending lots of good vibes.

    I'm almost sure this is what I've been dealing with my whole life!

I think I'll have to learn a lot on my own to get myself the help I need :(

      I don’t know where you live, but in Toledo, Ohio, there’s a top center for dysautonomia. There’s one in the UK and France. Most recently, there’s one in Bolivia started by the daughter of the doctor who started one in Spain. I know, it’s very random. You desperately need to find a doctor who truly understands this disorder.

    Do extreme emotions or trauma cause an attack that might cause syncope? When I got the call that my dad had a serious accident it was so strange. I felt the worst horror of my life, then my vision went completely white, a felt weak, and folded down starting to pass out. My husband held me up.

    • @CarrieJessica
      @CarrieJessica  3 года назад +1

      Absolutely! Dysautonomia is an unpredictable autonomic nervous system, so your flight, fight or freeze. Panic attacks, to my understanding, are also an elevated fight, flight, or freeze. Processing all of that at once can cause syncope.

    I also have chronic and progressive dysautonomia with EDS. I was diagnosed at 13. I’m now 53 and I’m going to die within the next 5 years. I developed restrictive lung disease from chronic bilateral atelectasis. Doctors are the most insidious part of the disease/disorder/syndrome or whatever they’re calling it this week. At least 50% say your psycho. Another 25% agree with the diagnosis, but they treat it as being dehydrated. 20% have knowledge of how it works, or in our case doesn’t work lol, then we finally find someone in that rare 5% who legit knows all about, BUT they need to send you to the closest treatment clinic 6 hours away. 🙃🙄🤷🏻‍♀️ Just for fun, you find out You’re ineligible for the drug trial because now you’re dying. Can’t let us pesky sick people ruin those good data numbers! 🎉
    My apologies, but my husband has found me in convulsions, unconscious on the floor too many times. And, this glorious man who loves me regardless of this nonsensical illness gets accused of beating me because I’m constantly bruised up head to toe. I do all the things. I wear the compression garments. I take an entire drawer full of medication throughout the day. I have had 2 surgeries already this year. I’m married to a true stoic who looks like Pierce Brosnan and has occasionally, “shushed” me gently so he could bark at the doctors.
    It’s criminal how the medical professional, minus that angelic 5%, treat people with this illness. For you, or anyone else who doesn’t know, dysautonomia is actually a secondary disorder. That means they’re also ignore whatever Prime autoimmune disorder triggered your dysautonomia. After 40 years of being called hysterical, my symptoms being ignored to the point my husband literally drove me to another city and hospital system an hour away where I was rushed in for emergency surgery. Last month, I randomly happened to see my actual diagnosis on the computer, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome with suspected polymyositis. 40 years of being called unstable and irrational finally gets a name, but… there’s no cure.

She has a RUclips channel called “LifeisBAI”. It would mean a lot if you could offer her some emotional support , these are very tough times trying to keep her motivated and engaged she is also wheel chair bound until we can find a therapy that works for her extreme symptoms.
