Autonomic Neuropathy

Autonomic Neuropathy is a relatively common disease that has manifestations that are distressing but sometimes is ignored. Our device for the measurement of Autonomic Neuropathy has only been around in this generation for about the past 10 months, having just approved by the FDA.

• Knowing you have this disorder is very important. The symptoms consist of,
• Dizziness and fainting feeling upon standing, caused by a drop in blood pressure.
• Difficulty starting urination, overflow problems that make you lose control and inability to empty your bladder completely.
• Sexual difficulties that includes erectile dysfunction or ejaculation problems in men, and vaginal dryness and difficulties with arousal and orgasm in women
• Retention of food in the stomach that can cause a feeling of fullness after eating, loss of appetite, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting and heartburn
• Sweating abnormalities, especially increased sweating, so the body can't regulate its temperature; also decreased sweating, sometimes after eating
• Sluggish pupil reaction, with difficulty adjusting from light to dark. Driving at night can be a problem.
• Exercise problems occur when your heart rate remains unchanged instead of increasing and decreasing in response to your activity level. This is a dangerous situation.
• Lack of usual warning signs to hypoglycemia, which often includes shakiness, increased heart rate, sweating and palpitations.

We have additional handouts that describe further late stage symptoms. Like most situations, early identification of the problem is best. Over the last 7 years, we have worked on the treatment that for most people works well fairly rapidly. There are some who do not respond well at all. It seems to depend on the cause to determine how well things respond.

The testing takes 9 minutes. The price is only $100 on Wednesday mornings and afternoons; normally it is $150. The treatment is usually successful in two or three months and as soon as 30 days in some individuals.
