Dysautonomia and dermatological manifestations

[Rexie]

Here's an interesting article on autonomic dysfunction and concurrent cutaneous (dermatological) manifestations from folks at UTHealth McGovern Medical School at Houston, Texas. It mentions orthostatic intolerance (OI), POTS, NCS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), mast cell activation disorders, rheumatologic disorders, multiple system atrophy, Parkinson's disease, pure autonomic failure, multiple sclerosis, etc. 
Cutaneous manifestations of dysautonomia include, but are not limited to, cutaneous flushing, hypo- and hyperhidrosis (too little/too much sweating), Raynaud's phenomenon, livedo reticularis, evanescent hyperemia, pallor, urticaria, and erythromelalgia.

Thanks for sharing this.  It really hits home for me.  I wondered if all the skin problems I suddenly developed was related but none of my doctors could confirm it (other than the flushing.)
