My daughter has dermatographia but I don’t. She was tested for EDS but the geneticist says she does not have it. She does have POTS, gets abnormally tired and has other symptoms that make me wonder. My Grandmother was known for her dermatographia! As for the antihistamines I take Zyrtec,Zantac and sometimes take Quercetin. The Zyrtec and Zantac actually took my chronic back pain away! I have a Harrington Rod from scoliosis and had been in pain for decades. I owe you a big THANK YOU for that one. 🙂

First, OMG! I’m so HAPPY that ZZ meds helped! AWESOME! Made my day! Now, as far as your daughter goes, my research is indicating that hypermobility may not be ‘required’ for us to develop dysautonomia/POTS. It is always amazing to see an entire family with EDS, except for one person. Yet ALL of them develop dysautonomia. Really? 😉

“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.”
