Jesslynn,
I’ve learned that I have to be my own advocate. I’ve been with me for 26 years, so I know my body the best, unfortunately doctors don’t always agree. How old is your daughter? I am working on researching and learning more about POTS. Dr. Diana’s information has been very very helpful, I just need to find a doctor! I’m planning to go across the country to a doctor, if that’s what it takes to get the correct diagnosis, etc. from a knowledgable doctor.

I am curious about birth control and menstration. My gynecologist just switched me to “low loestrin” instead of “loestrin.” She thinks it could help by keeping me on some form of hormone during the 4 days of my period. Maybe I should post a new topic to ask people about it.

“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.”
