I’ve been there. Too sick and too weak to do anything at all. So do not worry, it will get better, you will figure this out and this forum will help you. My doctor treated me like it was all depression, but I was depressed because I could not function. She treated me like a hypochondriac.

Now, years later, I have a diagnosis of EDS, Vasovagal Syncope and increased intrinsic heart rate. And based on some pics and videos, Dr. Diana feels that I have CCSVI and hydrocephalus. I am also being referred to neurosurgery, because my spinal cord is Indented by a disc. And the only reason they found this, is because I insisted that they do my entire spine on the MRI-not just the neck.

You will get there too. It just takes time.

What others say

“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.”
