That was a FANTASTIC video! CONGRATULATIONS Dr. Diana!!
It’s great how you included past videos and conferences to help us learn the time line of significant issues and breakthroughs concerning your work. You’ve done so much to help us who have invisible illnesses and now at last, the experts have validated your hard work!!

Thanks so much, Charlie! What you don’t see are the years I spent prior to releasing The Driscoll Theory (2011), trying to get everything figured out! What a journey — and I look forward to getting us all across the finish line IN OUR LIFETIMES. Ten years ago, the “best minds” in POTS/EDS told me that “I was perfectly healthy, just more aware of my normal bodily functions.” WHAT?! After trying every medication out there, and drinking gallons of Gatorade, Pedialyte, taking salt tablets, and being told I needed a neck fusion and likely Chiari surgery (then later a brain shunt) — GADS — I’ve come out the other side with no surgeries, and basically “normal bodily functions”. 😉 I was even told to have my gall bladder removed, I needed surgery for a “broken” ileocecal valve (between my large and small intestine), I needed surgery on my rotator cuff(s)… The list goes on. I *think* many folks are like me — we may be able to avoid much of this if we can identify what’s happening in each one of us, and hit the source of the problem. Otherwise, I think we’d just have loose joints, basically, right? Not me! EVERYTHING in my body was shutting down. This is a horrific condition. Let’s see what we can do to make it merely “an annoyance”. In my mind, that’s what it should be. Ditto for Chronic Lyme Disease, “Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It was suggested (incorrectly) that I had all of these (as did my kids). I have some ideas as to what is going on — beyond The Driscoll Theory. But we need to take care of this in “layers”, as I’ve found, and the layers discussed in The Driscoll Theory are a necessary beginning. Big hug…

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
