Default Cervical Stenosis / Autonomic Dysfunction

Hello everyone, I am still waiting to here back from BCBS TX on my ADR surgery, they recieved all paperwork on Monday.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any info about the relationship of cervical stenosis and autonomic dysfunctions. I was semi-diagnosed with the blanket term autonomic dysfunction however, while I fit the descriptions in some ways, for the most part I don't.

I have found some anecdotal information on the web about cervical stenosis and autonomic dysfunctions but it is controversial. I find it very bizarre that ALL of my symptoms started at the same time after a MVA.

I do know that all of my symptoms are much worse the worse the pain gets, but I can't take pain medications because they make me twitch, paniky, and prevent me from sleeping.
