Guest tearose Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I am busily packing for my saturday departure to the great OZ in Minnesota (Mayo Clinic)and to the great wizard who has helped me before...My girlfriend, of 18 years, called to ask how I was managing and to be sure to not overdo it as I get the final baggage together.She said, ya know, I know all you deal with and see what your symptoms are, but I have to ask " tea, what IS dysautonomia really?" I said ..."it is a general category under which falls all sorts of dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. In fact, my type of dysautonomia is called Hyperadrenergic Orthostatic Tachycardia." There was a great roar of laughter from the other end of the phone...She said you could make that into a song...so I did!sung to supercalifragilisticexpalidocious...Hyper Adren Ergic Ortho Static Tachy Cardia...You should be so lucky if this isn't quite a part-of-yaIf you sing this long enough you'll have to sit right downOr you will find yourself quite bruised and fallen on the ground!or you can sing it backwards which is..Cardi Tachy Static Ortho Ergic Adren Repyhbut that is going too far!It felt good to laugh with my friend and now it is back to packing.Hope you got a smile out of this dear dinet friends,tearose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
