Dr. Diana, both a doctor (therapeutic optometrist), and a recovered POTS and ME/CFS patient, offers help and hope for POTS, Dysautonomia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Lyme, vascular abnormalities, Fibromyalgia, and Multiple Sclerosis. Dr. Diana is now working full time at POTS Care.
Hello Dr Diana, it has been a while since I last posted on the EDS blog. I have been extremely ill. In addition to EDS, CCSVI, a brain lesion, I am battling chronic Lyme disease since early February. There were times that I was full time care and could not function at all. My brain was not as functional as that of a very young child;that is until my Dr. prescribed DIAMOX a month ago. The main side effect in my case has been a severe low back pain that resolved itself in my three weeks. Well worth the pain as my brain function is almost back to normal. I can think, understand what is being said and on my way to critical thinking very soon. The drug has helped a little with my memory but there is still quite a ways to go before that problem is solved.q I monitor my ph levels and found that I am very acidic most of the time so I use sodium bicarbonate, foods, and oxygen to go from acidic to alkaline. Overall,for me, DIAMOX is a miracle drug. I have to thank you for sharing your experience as my Dr. follows the work that you are doing and often refers me to your website.:)
