Dr Goodman (Mayo Clinic) Dysautonomia: Underlying Causes

[Belbyr]

This is a good video and it seems progress is being made in Dysautonomia. Never realized that testing for Sjogrens with just blood is unreliable... Looks like I need to get a lip biopsy.

Good talk but while they talk about dysautonomia in general, they focus on POTS. This is frustrating for those of us who have other types of dysautonomia like neurally mediated hypotension. Most dysautonomia research seems to focus on POTS.

What’s the name of this video so I can find it on Vimeo? I can’t get it to play here.

Interesting talk. I am positively surprised that Mayo not only produces "the bad" (thinking about their GET/CBT recommendations).

At ca. 21:25 he mentions sth. called Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia Syndrome and how he finds this in his patients with MCAS, having normal tryptase levels. So if they didn't have this tryptasemia they might have elevated tryptase I understood.

Edit: I misunderstood. Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia is about increased tryptase levels, also when there is no mast cell activation. So I don't understand sth...
