@Dysautonomia What the study found:
โœ… Out of 59 patients who qualified for #FND diagnosis by DSMV criteria, 88% had autonomic symptoms!!!
โœ… 27% were positive for ganglionic acetylcholine receptor antibody (gAchR Ab) via LIPS assay.
โœ… 50% had #POTS.
โœ… 50% had orthostatic hypotension.

@Dysautonomia Why is this important?
โœ… Our patients are often misdiagnosed with #FND, and this study proves that.
โœ… When #FND is diagnosed, treatment is psychotherapy & physical therapy, which is not a treatment for #Dysautonomia.
โœ… We MUST identify and treat #Dysautonomia symptoms.
