bamagirl Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 How were you diagnosed? What tests were done and what results gave you a true diagnosis? I am wondering if that is what I have, but I don't know how they test exactly. How do the docs know if our autonomic problems will progress and deteriorate with time?

ken870 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 they did a nerve biospy and a nerve conduction test to find the autonomic neuropathy also they said that my blood pressure and high heart rate was a sign too also many of the same symptoms of pots they find with autonomic neuropathy.

bamagirl Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 What did the nerve biopsy reveal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken870 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 it showed a small fiber neuropathy that my neuroligst said was autonomic neuropathy and that is why they are sending me to vanderbilt because nobody does autonomic testing in georgia.
