I drink enough water to float an armada. Around 2 gallons per day…more in the summer. It is very rare to see me without a drink in my hand. If I’m not carrying one, you can be assured that I have one sitting nearby. I also eat enough salt to make my mom, aunt and brother…all nurses, cringe. Pickles, chips, salt on lemons, salt on avocados and, heaven help me, sometimes pouring it straight into my hand and eating it in pinches.
I’ll be so happy when I hear from Dr. Francomano and get an appointment….maybe she’ll have some insight as to what it might be…..I hope!

My other new symptom is chronic heartburn and a pressure in my throat. My dad has a hiatal hernia and that is how his symptoms started out so it makes me wonder. Zantac and Tagamet have become my bestest buddies….LOL! But seriously..it’s bad enough that it causes me some pretty serious nausea. Not much fun at all.

“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.”
