CallieAndToby Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 So I received some exciting calls yesterday and today. As of today I have a telemedicine appointment with a gifted endorinologist in Jacksonville, Fl and in 2 months I have an appointment at UAB's autonomic testing clinic! I feel more hopeful. UAB seems like an excellent place to go and they do a lot of extensive autonomic testing which is what I've needed for so long. Just wanted to share the good news.

MTRJ75 Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 When I read the title, I thought this was going to be about a phone call setting off symptoms. It's unbelievable where only our minds immediately go. But that's great news! Congratulations and good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a step forward and long over-do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KiminOrlando Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 That is wonderful! Let me know how UAB is. I may need to change doctors as mine is getting ready to retire. Hope all goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I asked about videos from UAB I hadn’t seen this thread. I poked around and see that UAB now has a clinician trained in autonomic dysfunction—yay! Sounds great. That is a wonderful addition to their clinical services. Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really know to be honest I just did a lot of searching and found out they had a new autonomic testing lab. However the results will go back to my local neurologist and he doesn't know anything about dysautonomia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could call the department at UAB and ask if they will be sending a report and interpretation of your test to your local neurologist? The interpretation and analysis is almost the most important part of the test in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to find an autonomic specialist. We're moving partially so I can get actual medical care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
