lumpchp Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 The only diagnosis I have so far is dysautonomia which i know is a broad term, it is looking like pots for sure, but other body systems seem to be malfunctioning also. I am wondering how the immune system relates to this, as I have come down with a bad case of pneumonia. I know that sometimes dysautonomia occurs secondary to a weakened immune system, but can it work the other way around? I have been under major stress, trying to figure out what has been wrong with me, all my symptoms seemed to come out of nowhere after i had my soon a year ago.

Zap Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Welcome to the "dysautonomia" club - I too have no further diagnosis, which can be frustrating. I have symptoms across all my various body systems. Some cases can be autoimmune - depending on where you're going for autonomic diagnosis, they may run the Mayo autoantibody panel. This will tell you if you have any underlying immune cause.It is a huge stress to have so many things going wrong and be told everything looks normal. The stress just makes the symptoms worse - so try to step back from it as often as you can and breathe. Being here is a major help and there is a lot of knowledge here, too. Sadly, sometimes a lot more than even some of the specialists have, so you will have to be your own best advocate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
