briarrose Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I'm beginning to think that the veterinarians will figure this out before the MD's. Has anyone ever checked out the similarities?http://www.newss.ksu.edu/WEB/News/NewsRele...omia102804.htmlIt has no human equivalent, wonder what they meant by that?http://www.cvm.missouri.edu/neurology/Dysauton/FAQ.htm#whathttp://www.medscape.com/medline/abstract/12418523http://www.medscape.com/medline/abstract/11330614 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Dame Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 This is fascinating...the next time someone says "well, dysautonomia is just a hypochondriac's disease, I'll send them these links."You should write him and tell him about human dysautonomia. He may not know it occurs in humans since it's so underdiagnosed with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmpower Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Very interesting. Our nervous system is wired somewhat differently (duh?) because we are bipedal. There is a much more delicate and complicated balance in staying functional as we move through space on two legs vs four, and a lot more cardiovascular compensation has to occur in our range of postures.Having said that, if they cannot figure out what is happening with these poor animals, what can they know for sure about us more complicated two-legged creatures?Thanks for the links. (I couldn't open the medline ones, by the way.)OLL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I had seen some of these links before--I looked them up because my pharmacist told me I was the only human at his shop taking florinef. The rest were dogs...Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia3 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I had read about dysautonomia in dogs and cats before and knew some antibiotics can caue issues.I just read the first link so far but it is INTERESTING!

briarrose Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I spoke with Dr. Harkin on the phone. He said that he was aware of human cases in fact he has a friend that has Dysautonomia. (sorry I wrote it down but left it at work) They have found that animals that have Dysautonomia have some sort of lesions as the cause.
