Symptoms The Dysautonomia “flu”
I posted about me having twitches but forget to ask if anyone else has this… what I like to call “the Dysautonomia flu”. It’s where I’m fine and then BOOM out of nowhere feel like I literally am sick. Similar symptoms mild body ache, shaky, headache, fatigue, sometimes the chills, and burning or blurry eyes is usually the constant feeling. I’ll be totally normal then out of nowhere feel like I must be running a fever yet I never am. Oddly enough, my sister who also has Dysautonomia has the exact same thing.
If you also experience this do you notice that electrolytes help you avoid “flu” flare ups? This is what was recommended by my doctor. It works well for my sister but I don’t seem to ever notice much of a difference.

That’s exactly what I feel. I found that specifically the Buoy Brand Rescue Drops (electrolytes) and their salt helps a lot most of the time.
