Themissysue, if you could find a functional neurologist near you, I’m confident that you can be helped. My daughter had very severe POTS and by the grace of God we were led to a functional neurologist. They help deal with SIBO, h pylori and dysbiosis. They know that the gut and brain are connected, the gut-brain axis. My daughter who was bed ridden, now is able to function daily. She’s back to teaching piano lessons. She had many issues connected to the POTS. I hope this helps.

What did they do exactly? I saw a functional neuro and chiro and they did atlas adjustments and put me in a strict diet and it helped very little. Where are you located? I am house bound again with a 1 year old, was bed bound for 1.5 years

@@TheMissySueThis is Mackenzie, Penny’s daughter, who had severe POTS. We are located in Indiana and are seeing a functional neurologist in Indianapolis: Dr. Ralston at NeuroHealth Services. I’ve learned that there are some functional neurologists who don’t seem to do much in-depth therapy with dysautonomia patients. If you would like, I could help you search for a functional neurologist nearest to you that would specialize more in treating dysautonomia and the G.I. system. My mom, Penny, had SIBO, among other chronic symptoms she had been dealing with, for many years, and our functional neurologist ran a special G.I. test on her that revealed her issues, and she was able to start on some supplements specifically for her G.I. issues. Through the brain-based rehab along with treating her gut, she has made amazing strides in her health after decades of issues. I am here for you if you ever need encouragement or help. We will be praying for you. 😊🙏

@@TheMissySue we are in Indiana and we went to Dr. Ralston in Indianapolis. He tested her eye movements, balance and etc. then he set her up with sessions with them to learn the different exercises for eyes that work the different areas of her brain. My daughter could help you a lot more. Our doctor is a functional neurologist and chiropractor. He also would adjust her. He knew how to adjust her neck without wreaking havoc on her brain stem. She has improved significantly. If you want to get in touch with her, let me know.

Dr Keiser I would absolutely love to see a real case description such as this on someone who has had a long-term PCS or TBI with pot and small fiber neuropathy. Your work is fascinating. Thank you.

[@becky6598]

excellent video - thanks!

[@Gracemovingforward]

This was all so helpful! I have dysautonomia. It's my dream to help people who also have dysautonomia what would be the steps to becoming an chiropractic neurologist? I'm in highschool now. Your videos help me better understand the autonomic nervous system. 😊

[@maryannargiro779]

This was interesting. I have 4 autoimmune diseases and believe I have dysautonomia/ gastroparesis without Pots. I get pain, severe breathing difficulty and dizziness after a large meal. A large meal for me would be a normal size meal for most people. Negative on upper GI and I have never been able to get a 4 hour gastric emptying study done because for ten years I have not been taken seriously by Doctors or they just plain don't know what to do. They will never tell you that. On a different subject, I just want to point put, that in my experience talking with others like my self. one side of the body symptoms are are quite common, at least with Sjogren's and MS. If I have correctly understod your recommendations, I would not know where to begin to find a specialist who works with retraining the brain or strengtening the pathways. I don't know if this could work if your myelin is being destroyed by your disease. Anyway, Appreciate your putting this information out there. Most neurologists & Rheumatologists don't get into this kind of depth of explanation.

[@user-vu5md7xy5f]

Hey Nathan, thanks for you detailed video. I just wonder if I can through learning piano to help cure the POTS?

[@ChrisGascoigne1]

Been waiting for this one Nate, thanks for sharing! Being able to make that link between sensory information coming in through the periphery and that translating to motor output in the central ANS is truly one of the most remarkable discoveries when it comes to understanding these debilitating chronic conditions; as you said, you see most of these issues as movement disorders, which makes perfect sense, especially in this particular case study. Was her gastroparesis on the left side was due to hypokinetic movement of the GI tract and that's why you worked to improve the left-sided cerebellum through those peripheral inputs? I presume training that left cerebellum along with the right frontal cortex allowed her to better sense the ground beneath her/where she was in space and that caused the system as a whole to work in a much more coordinated fashion.

[@dockeiser]

Hello my friend 😊 I think that would be a good way to conceptualize this type of a case. It seems difficult for the brain to command a body that it cannot feel. Talk soon 🎉

[@aspirephysicaltherapy]

What size monofilament are you using for testing? Do you use different size filaments depending on the area of the body? Do you use size of the monofilament to monitor progress?

[@christianbjernersjo7910]

Hi Dr. Keiser! Thank you for your videos, they provide me with both knowledge and hope. I have a daughter with POTS, which developed in connection with an infection during Christmas 2021. She has always had a sensitive stomach, but after the infection, she ended up with both POTS and GERD, and has been taking Omeprazole for just over a year now. Every time we try to phase out the Omeprazole, all her symptoms get much worse; she becomes more fatigued, experiences more palpitations, has trouble sleeping, stomach cravings, early satiety, heartburn, and so on. I used to think that if we could just eliminate the Omeprazole and get her stomach functioning again, everything would fall into place. Now I am starting to lose hope in that approach. Every time we try to phase it out, no matter how slowly we do it, there's a setback, and we end up on a higher dose than before. Watching your video, I understand that we may need to work from a different angle. Could it be that if we strengthen the right parts of the brain, the stomach might start to function properly again? We live in Sweden and therefore have a long way to go to see you, but I have found a woman here who is skilled in eye training. Do you think there's a chance that eye training alone could solve the problem?

[@annacross6370]

I also had a terrible time trying to get my daughter off omeprazole for Gerd. We decreased it very slowly by taking 1 grain out at a time from each individual capsule on a weekly basis and managed to get her off it completely. She is also on a gluten free dairy free diet

Have you had any patients present with 820 gastrin levels? I've been sick on and off for over 32yrs, I was recently told I "might" have POTS so now I am having lots of tests. I also have a Protein S Deficiency. I faint if I eat large meals so I've learned I can't do that, heart races and I lose consciousness and lose everything I eat. My legs get weak at times and I have edema in them. This is all very personal but I am learning from others they've had similar events. It an extremely scary event. Tested negative for lupus and MS.

I heard you mention numerous medications but I didnt hear you say anything about high dose B vitamins especially B1....hmmm

Thiamine

[@nathankeiser2549]

This person like most that come in dealing with autonomic symptoms had pursued an extensive trial of MANY supplements including thiamine and assorted b vitamins. Needless to say, not the underlying problem in this case.

[@nathankeiser2549]

Also as logic would follow, if there was a B1 deficiency, then there wouldn’t be an amelioration of symptoms and improvement in function from Neuro rehabilitation. From your multiple comments it is evident that you feel strongly about this vitamin and I hope it is due to your personal success story. I hope from what is presented here people see how there are many causes that can underlay these syndromes and trying to pigeon hole cases into a one cause one cure algorithm can be detrimental to a large number of people. Take care
