SUMMARY:Finding Our Balance: Navigating Myositis & Dysautonomia
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Are you living with Myositis and also dealing with Dysautonomia or suspect you might be? You’re not alone! It’s common for autoimmune conditions like Myositis to co-occur with Dysautonomia. Join our support group\, offering a safe and nurturing space for individuals managing both conditions. This is an opportunity to share experiences\, find comfort in the community\, and exchange tips and resources for managing symptoms effectively.  \nWhat is Dysautonomia?\nDysautonomia refers to conditions affecting the autonomic nervous system\, which controls involuntary functions such as heart rate\, blood pressure\, and digestion. Some common subtypes include:   \n\nPostural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) \n\n\nInappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (IST) \n\n\nNeurocardiogenic Syncope (NCS) \n\n\nAutonomic Neuropathy \n\nFor more information\, Dysautonomia International is an excellent resource to explore: Dysautonomia International.  \nJoin us to connect\, learn\, and support one another in managing these challenging conditions. [/vc_column_text] To Register[/vc_column][/vc_row]
