Has anyone else out there had problems or symptoms associated with autonomic dysreflexia. I had "episodes" infrequently all of my life, but since my detethering surgery two years ago, the episodes are more frequent and more severe. Everything I read states that it is seldom associated with spinal injuries below T10 but my myelomeningocele was much lower than that.
The heavy sweating and blood pressure spikes are the worse part for me.
I am 54 - bilateral, below-knee amputation
Thanks for any input:
