Happy Dysautonomia Awareness month, Joy! the hashtag is #makenoiseforturquoise and I figured you may want to be aware of the fact they're going to be lighting up Niagara falls this evening!

Oh neat! I knew about the hashtag on Twitter, but somehow I missed the bit about Niagra Falls.

#MakeNoiseForTurquoise Dysautonomia Awareness: Dysautonomia is a medical term often utilized for a group of complex conditions that are caused by a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS regulates all of the unconscious functions of the body, including the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, metabolic system, and endocrine system. Under the umbrella of Dysautonomia are POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), OI (Orthostatic Intolerance ), AAG (Autoimmune Autonomic Ganglionopathy) and several others.

Symptoms and comorbid conditions include: blood pooling, tachycardia, fatigue, headaches, nausea and/or vomiting, delayed gastro emptying, digestive issues, cognitive impairment (brain fog), cold/heat intolerance, chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, sleep disorders, dizziness, vertigo, muscle/joint pain, and more.

You wouldn’t be able to tell just by looking at someone so check yourself when you find yourself making judgments, there is often a whole world of things going on that you aren’t aware of.

October is dysautonomia awareness month! 💙 Dysautonomia is an umbrella term meaning a malfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS controls all the automatic functions of the body, such as: blood pressure, heart rate, temperature control, digestion, and more. Literally everything your body does without you needing to conciously think about it is controlled by the ANS. . When the ANS malfunctions, it can impact any and all of these automaric systems. . Dysautonomia is more common than MS (multiple sclerosis) and Parkinson's combined, yet almost no one has heard of it - including medical professionals. Getting diagnosed is a challenge in and of itself, let alone getting proper treatment! . Please join me this month in spreading awareness for dysautonomia: #MakeNoiseForTurquoise 💙💙💙 ... ... #DysautonomiaAwarenessMonth #DAM2017 #dysautonomia #POTSsucks #stopPOTS #ChronicIllness #ChronicConditions #InvisibleIllness @dysautonomiaintl

New ‘do! I have not been to a salon in a few years due to my health. Today I knew I was in good hands with my favorite stylist and color genius Susan. I also gifted myself this amazing #lularoesarah - it’s been a great day! 😍

I’d like to think my heart loves so deeply that it made itself sick...or maybe not. #MakeNoiseForTurquoise #DysautonomiaAwareness #Turn6to15

Standing still and having a conversation can be one of the hardest things for me to do. Why? Since my blood pools in my extremities, it isn’t circulating to my brain and heart like it should. It can leave me light headed, dizzy, and weak to say the least. By moving around, swaying, or keeping my feet up I combat these effects. #MakeNoiseForTurquoise today. Someone you know may have these same symptoms and not know why. Let’s spread #DysautonomiaAwareness and continue to #Turn6to15

For the past year, my autonomic nervous system has gone haywire because of my POTS. My blood doesn’t circulate like it should. My body doesn’t handle the heat like it should. I can suddenly go into “fight or flight” mode with too much sound or movement. You can’t tell, though. This is what invisible illness looks like. #DysautonomiaAwareness #Turn6to15 #MakeNoiseForTurquoise
