Dysautonomia: A Single Word for Many Different Challenges.
For some, it’s dizziness while standing in line.
For others, it’s brain fog during a conversation, or a racing heart from doing everyday activities.

👉 For Katie, it was facing continually being stuck in “fight or flight” mode including getting a huge heart rate spike from going up just a few steps - which meant she often had to stop part way up a single flight of stairs to let her heart rate come back down before continuing on.
This is the reality of dysautonomia. One name, many faces. Many daily battles.

Our tip: While symptoms can’t always be prevented, small strategies — like hydration, compression garments, pacing, and nervous system support — can make these challenges a little easier to face.
To everyone living with dysautonomia: we see your strength. 💙

Many people are surprised to learn that dysautonomia isn’t just one condition.
👉 Primary dysautonomia develops as a condition on its own.
👉 Secondary dysautonomia develops as a result of another illness, such as:
Diabetes
Autoimmune disease
Infection-induced conditions (including Long COVID)
Both can deeply affect daily life, and both deserve recognition and care.

Tip for management: Whether primary or secondary, simple tools often help: hydration, extra salt (when safe), compression garments, and pacing solutions.

At ThriveNinety, we honor the resilience it takes to live with unpredictable symptoms and share strategies to make daily life a little easier.

Fatigue, brain fog, pain, or mood changes are not surface-level symptoms like a swollen ankle.
Long COVID and infection-induced chronic conditions run deep,
— affecting how you experience and interact with the world,
— how confident you feel about doing things you value,
— and whether you commit to plans or even spend time with the people you care about

because of the risk of making symptoms worse.
It’s important to help share that understanding with friends and family—but how?

Even with people who are incredibly empathetic and supportive, it’s hard for others to truly grasp what Long COVID feels like.
But we can share understanding and learn together.
Simple, practical strategies can help families, friends, and workplaces give people space to manage symptoms and their best chance at recovery.

Dysautonomia is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, which is more common than people think. This system controls heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and other bodily functions. Living with it takes courage. 💙

Katie has personal experience of these challenges. The good news is there are tools to manage symptoms - which have helped her and others to feel like themselves again. Tools that address those autonomic functions and help people live better. By 'tools,' we mean simple but impactful things that help regulate the nervous system like the right kind of movement or a nutritious diet.

Keeping a symptom log and tracking patterns can help you find your go-to tools.

In the spring of 2020, my Long COVID symptoms included fatigue, breathing difficulties, headaches, heart rate variability, anxiety, exercise intolerance, disrupted sleep, and brain fog. I even noticed my pupils were constantly dilated—signaling that my nervous system was stuck in fight-or-flight mode. With my second COVID infection, the brain fog, headaches, pain, and fatigue became debilitating. I had always relied on my brain and had clear communication in both my work and personal life. Suddenly, juggling tasks was impossible. At times, it took all my focus just to pick up a glass or carry something in from the car—and if someone was talking to me at the same time, I had no chance.

It changes how others see you, even people who love you and want to support you.

Brain fog isn’t just about being forgetful—it’s about struggling to connect your thoughts, feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day situations with loved ones, or having a brain that isn't reliable.
Those are some of the ways to describe Long COVID symptoms like brain fog to people around you. Conversations with people you are close to about your symptoms can be difficult, but powerful. It lets them have a better understanding of how Long COVID feels to you and how they can support you.

Awareness is powerful.
When we understand the stressors in our environment, we also gain the ability to reduce or avoid them—and build resilience step by step.
