Vegetative state stigma?

My neurologist wrote this in my report—does anyone actually know what this means?

First I'm hearing about this, my bad...

Maybe you could drop some info on what the symptoms actually look like, if it isn't too much trouble?

Honestly, that sounds kind of... like something straight out of the Bible...

Vegetative stigmatization

I’m thinking this means whatever you're dealing with is being triggered by an unstable autonomic nervous system—you know, the stuff that runs on autopilot, like your breathing and heart rate. You can't really micromanage it. The vagus nerve is the big player here—it's massive. Apparently, back in the day, doctors used to actually cut it during surgery just to try and chill out someone's nervous system—though I think they stopped doing that, or maybe they don't? Someone with actual medical training might know
.
It's probably "type" of thing where it's considered a psychosomatic issue—like if your hands won't stop shaking, but then you go through all the tests at the Mayo Clinic and the neurologist says everything looks perfect, so they just chalk it up to psychological stuff
.
For instance, if your autonomic system is just hyper-reactive, you could end up with heart palpitations even though your heart is fine, or just feel super anxious and whatnot

It sucks, but it's nothing crazy... 😉

edit: also, if they just noted that in your medical history rather than giving it to you as a formal diagnosis after testing, it might just mean you've got that slender build, fair skin, blue eyes, and all that. There's actually a theory that people built like that just have a more sensitive autonomic nervous system by default

Back in the day, people used to call this DNV—basically, autonomic dysregulation. In plain English, it’s just a fancy way of saying you’re "high-strung" or always on edge... 😈
It means even the tiniest bit of stress sends your system into overdrive.
But look, don't beat yourself up over it—it's not your fault. It's just how your internal "circuitry" was wired from the jump. 😍

Aha, just had a thought—medical style: why am I basically discharging every time I touch metal? It happens way too often lately... used to be just once in a while. I don't wear synthetics, my hands aren't even sweaty, but anything metal I touch gives me a little zap...

I'm just a bit high-strung 😈—could that be it? (Though seriously, I'm CONSTANTLY getting shocked—doorknobs, my car, my MacBook 😠 )

Real question though. And if anyone knows, what's actually happening inside my body?

If you've got sweaty palms, you might actually be dealing with some serious static buildup 😬

Susan Martin24 said:If your palms are sweaty, maybe... you're just dealing with some static electricity discharge 😬

nah, they aren't even sweaty... (if they were, I'd get it), it’s just constant little electric shocks 😕

Andrew Anderson6 said:No, I’m definitely not sweating or anything... (if I were, I'd totally get it), it's just that I can't stop shaking! 😕

Same here! Though I tend to have those bursts every once in a while.
One day you're absolutely crushing it, and the next, you're just spinning your wheels! I had a week like that last month where I felt unstoppable, only to hit a total standstill out of nowhere. Such is life!
In total, there have been more days where I actually spoke my mind!

Aha! Once upon a time (it feels like forever ago!), I kissed this guy and I swear there were actual sparks flying everywhere! 🤣 Pitch black darkness, broken up by these pale, greenish sparks! 😂

You overreact to even the tiniest bit of stress.
It’s not your fault—it’s just how your "electronic" wiring is set up. 😍

hm.😁
I was sent to a neurologist because of these headaches paired with nausea, dizziness, and my legs feeling totally numb, plus my favorite little hobby: passing out.😁
The problem is, I can't make heads or tails of the test results.😁

He told me the headaches might be sinus-related, but said the vertigo and everything else aren't connected to that. I have a massive list of tests to go through.😁😁😁
