YES i get this too. maybe try v small amnt of exercise (like not even 5min!) and work up over time.

exercise actually makes my brainfog worse??? i dont think florinef helped either.... are there any other things you've found help your brainfog?

yeahh showers make me feel worse too. i also have a shower chair & take short, lukewarm showers. i'm also always sure to open window/turn on fan before shower to reduce steam, & not use strong smelling soaps/shampoos. also, tilting head back to rinse hair sometimes makes me black out, so i use a handle shower sprayer i can hold and spray myself in the face w/ instead of leaning back lol

Hi, I find that my prescription glasses and sunglasses contribute to my chronic daily headache, which I have had since the onset of my dysautonomia about 2 1/2 years ago. I prefer to wear nonprescription sunglasses (helps with light sensitivity). I always thought the prescription glasses headache worsening was unrelated to my dysautonomia, but after talking with another POTSie who also finds corrective lens make her head hurt more, I wonder if this is related to a dysfunctional autonomic nervous system, and how? Have any of you experienced this too? By the way, my prescription was checked and I got new glasses very recently at the Mayo Clinic, and the headache worsening with glasses still persisted.
