Excerpt

An emerging body of literature suggests that many of the disabling symptoms experienced by patients with multiple sclerosis, including fatigue, are the result of cardiovascular autonomic dysregulation. Clinicians treating patients with multiple sclerosis intuitively embrace this literature and many of the potential mechanisms suggested, given the overwhelming similarity between symptoms of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction and those reported by these patients. Within this realm of possible associations, discerning between common pathophysiology and spurious association becomes the foremost and most challenging goal. …
