Hi Brenda, I am going to respectfully disagree with your neurologist. The use of Diamox for high intracranial pressure is NOT new science. We certainly do NOT need to do “research” to test a medication for a particular group of patients (such as EDS). What The Driscoll Theory revealed was the propensity of EDS patients to develop high ICP, usually responsive to Diamox. If high pressure is suspected, Diamox is the number one choice for treatment (FDA approved). This is not a new medication, we know the risks and benefits, and physicians do not need to fear it! Now brain shunts — THOSE are scary. Diamox? Not so much… 🙂
