Thank you for your responses. How did you get positively diagnosed? My doc did the ANSAR test and first told me I was fine and then told me that he had consulted with another doctor and that I have a slight parasympathetic nervous system imbalance. He is only treating me with nor-triptoline and sometimes I take DGL. Should I be taking other things, too? I have been on antibiotics for 5 1/2 months now with little relief of my symptoms so I am unsure if I really have Lyme. ugh. I am about to start new insurance with military doctors and am frightened that they will not understand this affliction.

My doctor recently diagnosed me with Dysautonomia, although I do not know what type. The only thing he did to diagnose me was the ANSAR test. Is anyone familiar with that? Is that enough to diagnose me? He also thinks I have Chronic Lyme and FMS. My blood pressure is always pretty low (96/60) and heart rate around 75 bpm. Here are my main symptoms: 1. Debilitating lower back pain on my right side only 2. Right thigh goes numb when I exercise 3. Sluggish gallbladder (no stones) which leads to GI dysfunctionality 4. Difficulty urinating (I have to push it out) 5. Occasional periods where I am constantly dizzy; I have only had a handful of times when I almost passed out when standing or quickly rising out of bed 6. Difficulty swallowing 7. Extreme muscle fatigue (I cannot hold a hair dryer for more than one minute over my head) 8. Myclonic jerking of muscles 9. This one is embarrassing, but...it seems like my sexual muscles do not work anymore (that is the most delicate way I could put it) I am beginning to wonder if I am having some sort of total body system degeneration. It feels like all of my muscles are unable to work and are getting weaker by the month. This scares me. Could I have MSA? How serious is this dysautonomia thing? Is there anything that can confirm that I have this and what type? Thank you for your kind assistance.
