Help with season change symptom flares!

[NicoleAdia]

Does anyone have any suggestions to help with symptoms that flare up with season changes? I'm starting to think my symptom flare patterns have to do with the cold! Ever since the weather changed I've been nauseous (all the time!), dizzy, have heart racing and headaches and just general feel like crap! Is there anything I can do to help? I'm pretty sure its the EDS/POTS flaring so I've been drinking tons of water/gatorade but it doesn't seem to be making a difference. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

  Hi...have they ruled out MCD ( mast cell disease) ? EDSers are prone to over produce histamines and it can play a role in symptom flare ups due to weather,,,,,,

I have a rough time with not only big weather pattern changes but seasonal ones as well....I try to avoid things I know will make my flare ups worse....I do have EDS and tethered cord in addition to Chiari.....but I do not have POTS and I can not offer insight on what to look at there....so do talk with your Drs.

Hope you begin to feel better soon so you can enjoy the holidays.

I've looked into MCD a few times, but never felt justified to get tested because my symptoms don't quite match up. Maybe I'll have to look into it! It's just so hard to find doctors who are knowledgeable in it all, especially when its 3 different diagnoses! Thanks for the input!
