TILTED IBD

Sinopse

TILTEDáis a bold, irreverent, and deeply informed look into the world of dysautonomia-told from the dual perspective of a doctor who lives with it. Dr. Khalid Saeed, D.O., brings both clinical authority and lived experience to this uniquely styled medical memoir, offering readers a blend of personal insight, scientific explanation, and defiant humor thatâÇÖs rarely found in health literature.The book explores the daily realities of life with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), orthostatic hypotension (OH), neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS), and other forms of autonomic dysfunction. But this is not just a symptom list with footnotes. ItâÇÖs a patient-led, science-backed survival guide for those navigating a condition that baffles physicians, evades tests, and is often mistaken for anxiety.Structured into four distinct parts-acute symptoms, chronic management, functional living, and systemic disruption-TILTEDáoffers a comprehensive and accessible breakdown of how dysautonomia affects every organ system. It includes guidance on diagnostics, medication, hydration strategies, lifestyle adaptations, trigger avoidance, and emotional resilience. It also takes on the broader context: medical gaslighting, insurance barriers, and the cultural invisibility of complex chronic illness.Written with sharp wit and an unflinching voice, this book is ideal for patients, caregivers, and clinicians alike. Dr. SaeedâÇÖs conversational tone invites readers into both the clinical and personal sides of dysautonomia, making complex physiology digestible without dumbing it down. Through every chapter, he offers not just education, but validation-reminding readers that they are not weak, broken, or imagining things.Perfect for those living with dysautonomia, seeking diagnosis, or supporting someone who is,áTILTEDábalances humor, humanity, and hard science. ItâÇÖs a rallying cry for visibility in a world that still doesnâÇÖt quite know what to do with a nervous system that refuses to cooperate.
