The back of the t-shirt is a 6 x 6 inch box that states the following:
Dysautonomia is a medical term that describes abnormal functioning of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is the master regulator of organ function throughout the body. It is involved in the control of heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, respiration, digestion and other functions vital to survival. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system can lead to a wide array of life-altering and disabling symptoms.
Dysautonomia Awareness t-shirts are $15. each and can be ordered today at http://www.dinet.org/tshirts.htm. Please join the cause.
