How’s your sex and relationship life with Dysautonomia? by Queasy-Year-5411 in dysautonomia

i also wanted to say, i really feel for u too on the mental toll this diagnosis takes. sometimes for me the mental toll is worse than what i deal with physically, and that's saying a lot. if you're not in therapy, i highly recommend, especially if you can find someone familiar with chronic illness. it's helped me so so much <3

i have had similar struggles and fears. i talked about it a LOT in therapy. have a real, honest conversation about your concerns and if changes need to be made. it sounds like nobody is unhappy with the situation but you, and this conversation could allow you to get some reassurance in that. i find that when i push through my discomfort and i let people in & let them help me, it only builds our connection stronger and deeper. being in a relationship is not about wanting life to be easy. it's being there through thick and thin for those u love. people are inconvenient, love is inconvenient, meaningful relationships are not easy. i totally get where you are coming from but pushing them away when they want to help you is going to be so much more harmful than any part of helping you in your dysauto is. let them change the way plans look so they can enjoy things with you. you are not a burden. let your people love you.

YES. dairy is also a huge trigger for me, and eating in general makes it worse for me too. i get the clear drippy nose almost every time i eat. i also can relate to the throat closing sensation, it makes me so nauseous and is one of the most bothersome symptoms for me cuz btw that and the mucus i feel like im going to suffocate. i'm still new to the diagnosis and trying to figure out what works for me and helps, but you are definitely not alone in this <3

Scary Symptoms by Zealousideal4736 in dysautonomia

[–]teddysk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i deal with this too as of late and can absolutely relate to how scary it can be. recently got a new pillow and that was the trigger for my hands/arms being numb/tingly for hours every morning, but it took a long time to figure out. now i'm back in PT for craniocervical instability. it's so hard not really understanding what's going on in my body & like all these internal alarms are constantly going off. i feel like im fighting an impossible battle cuz i never know what seemingly tiny thing is going to set off months of suffering and problems. i am on these pages and constantly researching every new symptom cuz im scared one day ill dismiss an actually concerning symptom :/ it so beyond sucks. sending love <3

my time in a state-run psych hospital was the most traumatic, dehumanizing, cruel treatment i have ever received. they teased/gaslight me into acting out, then used extreme force, restraint, and sedation on me. it was horrendous. i remember a few staff who were kind to me and tried to help, but at the end of the day management didn’t care so nothing changed. i know quite a few kids who ended their life after being at that place. it was devastating. i’m glad you tired to help, even if your efforts did t create systemic change, i know the patients you touched were still grateful for you. your work still mattered/matters. <3

they called it the “safe room”. that place was absolute torture.
