I’ve had these awful headaches, they come on in an instant & it feels like I’m being electrocuted. That usually last for a few seconds (5-20) then a tremendous amount of pressure. I have pressure & pain at the cavity where your neck meets your spine & through my shoulders & between my shoulder blades bad!! I’d beg my hubby to DIG his fingers in that cavity at the base of my head & ask him to try & punch his fingers around my spine… My neurologist said I probably had “occipital neuralgia” and put me on Gabapentin…gave me awful chest pain. I told him about reading “The Driscoll Theory” and asked about Diamox… He was reluctant but let me try it. The first pill I took helped SO MUCH!!!!

Thank you Dr. Diana

“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.”
