Happy to see our paper on neuropsychiatric manifestations of #MCAS published today. 🧠 Depression, anxiety and panic disorder were highly prevalent 🫀 #Dysautonomia/#POTS and #EDS were common comorbidities ‼️ Neuropsychiatric manifestations improved or resolved with mast-cell-directed therapies. #NeuroTwitter #MedTwitter #Psychiatry #Neurology mdpi.com/2075-4426/13/11/156…

Excited to have the first paper published today in our @JPM_MDPI special issue on #Neurology and #autonomic disorders that I am guest editing. This is a nice study demonstrating that at home measurements of supine and standing blood pressure is more sensitive than in-office BP measurement to identify orthostatic hypotension in patients with #Parkinsons disease. #NeuroTwitter @RuhoyMD @JenniferRobblee mdpi.com/2075-4426/13/9/1324

The more data collected the better we understand what can help or what can hurt
If exercise is proven to be ineffective or harmful, it'll be demonstrated by data in the trial so while many people are worried/upset, #Science will tell us if and what type of exercise is beneficial or harmful to patients. Read my article on #POTS here: brainandlife.org/articles/wh…

We share Diana’s concerns about RECOVER, but are hopeful that the autonomic trial will lead to some progress in clinical care, not because of RECOVER, but despite RECOVER. The autonomic experts involved have had their ideas watered down by people who no nothing about autonomics.

Compass Points the Way by Alexis Kline is the story of a young life interrupted by POTS, as told by a young woman living with POTS. This is a worthwhile read for patients and caregivers of any age. Read a preview bit.ly/3LBK9q3 #POTS #dysautonomia

Receiving a new diagnosis can come with many mixed emotions. This video shares the struggle many of us go through during and after finding out the name of a new illness. youtu.be/ttegjLe8Iyw #dysautonomia #pots #potssyndrome #chronicillness #chronicpain #invisibleillness

A Gentle Reminder: Just because you don’t have an official diagnosis, doesn’t make your symptoms or journey any less valid. It can take months to years to figure out what is going on. Trust yourself! #dinet #dysautonomia #chronicillness #chronic #pots #longcovid

Just had this patient who yet again was misdiagnosed with #FND. Patient did not have FND: she had #POTS, #EhlersDanlosSyndrome, large fiber peripheral #neuropathy and #MCAS. Misdiagnosis with FND is a problem in our field that needs to be addressed. #NeuroTwitter #MedTwitter
