Hi Courtneylynn!! I’m so glad that you found us here! I believe that most of us can relate to all of the symptoms you described, in one form or fashion, unfortunately. The good thing is, we are getting some answers! I’m not sure where you live, but perhaps someone here can steer you towards a good doctor? The videos and handouts on this site are a good start, too. I remember all too well, the feeling of impending death, only to find that by changing ONE thing (Diamox to lower intracranial pressure, lots of magnesium, antihistamines, for example) made me turn the corner almost immediately. Amazing. Don’t lose hope, OK? If you are newly diagnosed, and haven’t even begun to treat your condition (properly), you will likely be SHOCKED at the changes your body is capable of! It is a rare person who doesn’t have an immediate effect from antihistamines such as Zyrtec and Zantac (especially Zyrtec). Magnesium deficiency is rampant with us, too, and if you google ‘symptoms of magnesium deficiency’, you will be shocked. I hope the videos and handouts are helpful for you. Hang in, my new friend. 😉

“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.”
