October is Dysautonomia Awareness Month!

Dysautonomia, a condition that affects the autonomic nervous system, is common among people with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), particularly hypermobile EDS (hEDS), and hypermobility spectrum disorders.

The most common forms include orthostatic hypotension, PoTS, and vasovagal syncope. Symptoms can include:

- Dizziness or fainting
- Rapid heartbeat
- Fatigue and headaches
- Exercise intolerance
- Blurred vision or nausea

Management often includes lifestyle changes, such as increasing fluid intake, dietary adjustments, and learning postural maneuvers. These steps can help improve your quality of life. Learn more from expert Dr. Mark Belham here: https://www.ehlers-danlos.org/information/understanding-pots-webinar/

Modern Neuroscience is offering new insights into resolving chronic pain & many other challenging persistent conditions *.

Pain Reprocessing therapy is an evidenced based treatment to help retrain the nervous system. It offers hope to heal from chronic pain rather than accept the current medical approach to live with the burden of pain.
If you are experiencing persistent or chronic symptoms such as pain, fatigue, brain fog and have seen little relief through the conventional medical treatments, please email or text me to discuss working together. I offer a free 15 min telephone /video consultation followed by an in-depth assessment to see we are the right fit and we can take it from there.

Please contact me via email on deirdre@heaneyot.com or mobile on 07974 730889.

* Please note this approach is not intended to treat conditions that have clear diagnostic tests such as rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis. Please consult your doctor to rule out definite causes to your symptoms before embarking on this approach.
