October is Dysautonomia Awareness Month!
Good morning!
October is also Dysautonomia awareness month! Dysautonomia usually goes hand in hand with LEMS! I know many of us have already been diagnosed with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome).
My dysautonomia symptoms were the start of my LEMS story
Dysautonomia is an “umbrella” term that covers several neurological conditions!
If you’re not familiar with the term “Dysautonomia,” here is a pretty informative video about it!

<p><a href=”https://vimeo.com/187404694″>What is POTS?</a> from <a href=”https://vimeo.com/dysautonomia”>Dysautonomia International</a> on <a href=”https://vimeo.com”>Vimeo</a>.</p>POTS is caused by a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which controls almost every system in the body. Symptoms and severity can vary depending on the severity of damage to you ANS. I have moderate damage to my ANS which has caused issues with my cardiac conduction circuit, neuropathy of my small fiber nerves, and severe acid reflux.
How many of you are also “Potsies?”
