I am a consultant working in Neurorehab and I find your presentation of this fairly complicated autonomic failure very clear and to the point, with simple and clever illustrations. Very well done!

The most straightforward explanation, thank you!

[nickosgood]

Thanks very much for this, I'm a registered paramedic and struggled to simply explain AD to my student. This video has really helped us both 👍.

Again, BEAUTIFULLY (and simply) explained. Well done Mike - perfect for my nursing studies.

Thank you so much Sir🙏🏾worked in the emergency department for the last 2 months and saw spinal injury patients every week. This is really helpful!

I had Scheuermann's disease as a teen and when it developed, I began having a fast heart rate, sweating, anxiety, Raynaud's/acrocyanosis, flushing/blushing, and orthostatic weirdness and erratic energy levels. The docs thought I had a pheochromocytoma, but that was negative. Adderall actually helps. I had my spine corrected in 2011 and look and feel awesome.. I workout a lot and built a lot of muscle... But my sympathetic nervous system is still super super super sensitive. Metanephrines and other adrenals are all normal. I am completely convinced there is something related between my thoracic spine (my curve apex was T8) and my sympathetic nervous system overaction. 20 years since diagnosis, I finally found a health care team who says I am not crazy. It's likely not going to kill me... But I'll tell you, it can be very frustrating. There is basically no known medical studies involving what I'm conviced of (idiopathic scoliosis/kyphosis related to hypersensitive SNS), I'm basically on my own LOL.

Great video.

You never disappoint me Dr. Mike, very well explained.

I just experienced it today and I thought I was going to have a stroke. I’m a paraplegic with high level of injury, T2-T3. I haven’t experienced something this intense for several years. Really scary.

Thank you for amazing explanation for my nursing class

[cathywardell]

Thank you! I am a nursing student and while they teach us how to recognize symptoms and how to correct this condition, the explanation behind it was unsatisfying. Now I get it :)

I was rejected by Griffith Uni a few years back and now I am happily working in the States as an ICU nurse :))

Studying for BPT. Crystal clear description, thank you.

[noahembry]
