This video is great, as well as part 1 & 2 of your talk at the conference!

Going to segway here and ask about kidney stones, since you mentioned you had one during the conference (yikes, hugs to YOU, I’ve had them before… so painful!). I have been wondering if anyone in “our” group of Diamox takers was having any problems with kidney stones, since it is a known possible side effect? And, I read that if you are taking bicarb with it you are going to be even more likely to get kidney stones. I take the 650 mg bicarb tablets I bought online (so much easier than filling gelcaps myself), two tablets , three times a day because my blood chemistry is not liking the Diamox ( I get very acidic). To me that seems like a lot of bicarb, but I have no idea how much the rest of you are taking. Oh, and I take 4 of the 125 mg Diamox a day. I have had kidney stones in the past, so I am getting a bit nervous about more forming. Lately I have had some twinges in my left kidney….

I hope you are feeling better now 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.”
