Support for Non-Noxious Causes

While I have no empirical evidence, and therefore cannot make an addition to this article scientifically, I do personally know of a case in which sexual stimulation has induced AD in a patient with a high cervical lesion, which does support non-noxious stimulus as a potential AD trigger. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.109.55.138 (talk) 16:05, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Experiences With Autonomic Dysreflexia

I am T-4 paraplegic since 1981 and have experienced Autonomic Dysreflexia for some 20 years years. Over the past decade, I have had to deal with AD on an almost daily basis. This has resulted in several trips to the emergency room due to one or more of the following symptoms: severe hypertension, severe spasms and/or severe headaches. Some comments on this article:

One, I added spasms to this article's list of symptoms. From personal experience, I frequently have abdominal spasms associated with AD, sometimes with alternating severe front and back abdominal spasms, i.e., violent jerking to and fro.

Two, regarding sexual stimulation as a possible cause of AD. I assume this can be attributed to the close proximity of stimulation to the bladder: a UTI or an distended bladder can definitely cause AD. It seems any overactive stimulation, noxious or otherwise, of the urologic tract or instestines can cause AD.

Three, regarding noxious stimuli being the primary cause of AD. While this is true, especially for noxious stimuli to the instestines, urologic tract and the skin, not all noxious stimuli will cause an AD response. Some otherwise severe noxious stimuli in normal people may not cause AD . I know from personal experience that broken bones will not cause AD: one one occasion I did not notice a couple of steps going to a lower level, and rolled my wheelchair right over them, landing on my knees breaking both of my femurs. After getting myself back up, I felt fine. Later that night, due to internal bleeding, I felt a severe dizziness and unable to catch my breath. Only after being taken to the ER did I learn that I had broken both my legs! One another occasion I fell out of bed and broke my right fever. Again after getting myself back into bed, I felt fine. Only later, when I happened to look at my leg, did I no that my right femur was very much out of alignment, and most probably broken. I trip to the ER confirmed this fact. mlg666666 (talk) 11::05, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Mass reflex should redirect to this article

An article has recently been created, Mass reflex, that should redirect to this article. There's not really any content worth keeping there, so it should probably just be turned into a redirect. --Nerd1a4i (talk) 17:22, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
