ms with autonomic instability

Is it common for a person that has M.S. to have symptoms of autonomic instability?

Yes. From all the research I have read it is a secondary cause resulting from the MS. Symptoms can range so greatly from individual to individual. The autonomic nervous system is so complex. It is difficult to run anyone test. When they rule out causes of Dysautonomia MS is listed as a cause.Try the website Dinet.org if you have not already. Mayo clinic in Rochester is very very helpful. We are there now. My daughters cause is different.

    Hi Tina,
     Yes, and I am one of those who have a dx of MS and Autonomic Dysfunction (NCS).
it is more common than once thought. Now, that is not to say that just because someone has an Autonomic Dysfunction that they will or do have MS.

    How long have you been dx w/ MS? What Autonomic Dysfunction are you dealing with?  

     And....I also wnated to Welcome you to the Forum as I do not believe we have met yet :)  I hope you stick around and get info you need, ask questions you want, or just come to vent..

     Hope you had a great weekend.
