Hello, I've been contemplating for at least a week what to put in my intro. I'll keep it simple since were all in the same boat. I've saw a lot of dr's and not gotten a lot of answers.... So far my diagnosis is Dysautonomia/POTS. I'm a 32 year old male standing 6'1 weighing 200lbs. My Bearded Dragons Vet told me about Chiari and she wanted me to have it ruled out. About a month ago my neurologist looked at my 2 year old MRI and said it was fine but I did have a 3mm drop... Needless to say I'm waiting to hear back from UPMC to see what they think.
I do have a question for everyone, do your symptoms change frequently? The past 2 winters I dropped over 30lbs. Currently I have an appetite and I'm trying to pack on the weight. I've been lifting moderate weights, cardio, and stretching. I figure if I get a little fat I'm not worried about it. I know I can always take it back off. Back to my point, I went to a Dr apt 7 months ago and he hit my leg with the hammer thing and it didnt react the way it was supposed to.... A month or so later a different doc hit my leg in the same place and it reacted the way it was supposed to! Do your symptoms seem to change?
