      Fortunately, Autonomic Nervous System testing is available.

      For example, see the Mayo Clinic website at-

      http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/autonomic-neuropathy/DS00544/DSECTION=tests-and-diagnosis

      These include:

      1. Breathing tests
      2. Tilt-table test
      3. Gastrointestinal tests
      4. Quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test (QSART
      5. Thermoregulatory sweat test
      6. Urinalysis and bladder function (urodynamic) tests
      7. Ultrasound.

      If memory serves me any better today than it has in the past, I’ve had #1, 2, 4 and 5.

      Seperately I did have several sensory tests:

      1. Touch pressure
      2. Thermal Disk
      3. Vibration Sensation
      4. Cooling and heat-pain sensation.

      There are ways to get to the bottom of what you’ve got and what you don’t got. love that grammar?
