Abstract

Event Abstract Back to Event Multiple System Atrophy/Dysautonomia Complicated by Viral Infections, Hashimoto’s and other Autoimmune Disorders: Functional Neurology Approach and Applications Gil S. Jaudy1* 1 Jaudy Treatment Center, United States Background and Aims A 41-year-old female presented to our clinic complaining of fatigue, anxiety, muscle tension, headaches, brain fog, interrupted sleep, autoimmune sensitivities, digestive issues, bone spurs, and neck and shoulders pain. History of the patient consisted of allergies all her life, Hashimoto’s, light-headedness, migraine headaches, viral infections, in addition to several accidents, falls and surgeries. The patient has seen several allopathic and alternative doctors, was as put on several medications and supplements, but her symptoms kept worsening. The patient fears that her symptoms will make her bedridden and helpless in the next 2 years, and become a burden on her husband and family. Methods The patient had undergone a comprehensive and extensive neurological examination using standard neurological tests and diagnostics including VNG, computerized dynamic posturography, tremorscopic testing. She had bilateral areflexia, orthostatic concomitance, sensorimotor deficiencies, anterior center of pressure (ACOP). She also had positive pathological reflexes. The patient had balance and incoordination issues. She also had slow saccadic movements in various planes, and aberrant vertical to horizontal optokinetic. She also had irregular pursuits, bilateral hippus with loss of gaze. A slow systemic Functional Neurology approach was implemented using various visual, auditory, vestibular, sensory and motor applications, brain-based activities, cerebellar activation, complex therapeutic activities, home instructions and dietary changes. Results During the first 2 days of treatment, the patient slept for 6 hours straight and was able to digest better. By the second week of treatment, 80% of her symptoms had resolved. The patient was discharged for one month, followed by one week of treatment. Today the patient is seen three times a year and enjoys life with her family.
