Yes, it’s so odd, that it doesn’t matter how much you drink, your mouth is still dry within a short space of time.

As for the eye pain, I get pressure pain at the back of the eye, feels like it’s being pushed forwards, mainly my right eye but have had it in both. I used to wake up with this and it would go as the morning progressed but recently I seem to have been getting it on an evening.

On Saturday evening I had this behind the eye pressure pain and I bent forwards to unplug something and the pain got so bad I had to grab my eye. In fact the pain felt like it was in my eye, similar to the stabbing pain you describe. The next day it was all red, a blood vessel had actually burst, over the white of my eye, it was dense red from the edge of my iris to the inside corner of my eye (and beyond).

I don’t usually bend forwards, as I have Craniocervical instability and have been warned (even with the collar on 24/7) NOT to but the plug needed taking out and I hadn’t the energy to get down on my knees to do it AND get back up again – so I paid the price, er, I won’t do it again though!

“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.”
