The Nervous System Off Balance: Dysautonomia Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts map dysautonomia beyond the POTS headlines: the tilt-table confirmations after years of fainting dismissed, salt and fluid and compression as unglamorous first-line medicine, medication trials — beta blockers, midodrine, ivabradine — tuned by trial, post-viral onsets that reset entire lives, and the pacing skills that replaced boom-and-bust. Writers include partial recoveries and stable managements, careers rebuilt part-time, specialists worth the waitlists, and the vocabulary that finally made families believe.

Who it's for

For anyone whose autonomic system has gone freelance, awaiting or absorbing a diagnosis, or supporting someone whose illness controls the controls.
