I definitely have POTS. I suspect I also have EDS, but am scheduled to discuss with my doctor June 11th. I’m hoping to get Diamox at that appointment. My symptoms have taken a fast nose dive over the last 2 weeks. I just sneezed & for the first time had that AWFUL pain in my head that others have described. So, I think it would do me some good. And I’m definitely a water retainer! My feet & calves swelled up like crazy this past weekend, my weight fluctuates daily from the water.

I’ll keep you posted once I start the Diamox.

“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.”
