I was diagnosed with autonomic dysfunction about 7-8 months ago. I began experiencing life altering symptoms a year ago. I woke up one morning complaining It was extremely hard for me to get out of bed, I was light headed, felt sick to my stomach and at best description felt as if I had the flu, it kept up and two days later went to my family doctor who told nothing was wrong...the next day at dance team practice I passed out and my mom brought me to another local doctor who began running tests. I have never felt the same since first complaining about feeling ill, we thought this would go away and it was just a bizarre virus that had to run its course. For months I was a medical mystery, had several cat scans, MRI's, like (5-6) was tested for diseases and all kinds of things I have never heard of, hospitalized twice I finally was diagnosed with Neuro-Cardiogenic Syncope, and was told after being put on the betta blocker and several other meds, give myself about 6 weeks to get back to my normal self. After 7 weeks of me not getting any better, but developed more symptoms and was passing out up to 5 times a day, the doctor told me he couldn't help me any longer, needed another opinion. 10 different specialist later and many of the same diagnosis that included --- POTS, NCS, Orthostatic Hypotension, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Orthostatic Intolerance. We had hope this would all get better but it hasn't, it has gotten worse...and fast. I know have severe fibromyalgia, IBS, chronic migraines and are currently getting more test done now including Adeline testing. I cant drive, take online classes for college, cant work, and lay down in bed 95% of the time, if I try and go out to eat I feel miserable and sick, this sickness has changed my life, the way I view life, and has changed my personality - sometimes not for the better, my depression and anxiety is so crazy I feel at times I want to give up....and that's something I never want to happen. If anyone could give me any help, advice, doctors names, or anything that could help me have a better quality of life it would be greatly appreciated. And to all of you out there that feel like your so alone YOUR NOT! That emotion runs through my mind constantly so im so glad to have found this website!
