Wanted to do an update on my meds. I brought Dr. Blair Grubbs analysis on Hyper Adregenergic Pots to my PD. I am taking 30mg of Cymbalta and only on day 2, I feel a difference in my energy levels. Also, my pulse is somewhat lower, although I think it is too early to give all credibility to the Cymbalta. I was also prescribed 0.01mg of Clonidine to take at night because my adrenaline really spikes at bedtime. I only took half the first 2 nights because I wanted to ease into it slowly. I fell asleep fast but woke up a couple of times the first night. The second night I felt like my heart went up a little. I talked to my pharmacist and she seemed to think it was the Cymbalta and not the Clonodine and to take the full amount tonight, which I will. My blood pressure is good and my pulse seems a tad lower today even while doing some housework, yes!, I can clean up the house without seeing stars or having an attack that puts me to bed. I am also following the same diet, high fat/high protein/low carb as well. I hope this can help anyone suffering through the same ordeal. I wish you all the very best luck. Keep fighting for yourself because you are worth 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.”
