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.
I have always been very petite. I am about 5’4 and for the last few years have maintained a weight of about 108-110lbs (the most I’ve ever weighed). unfortunately, with so many back to back episodes over the last 8 months or so I’m usually about 103 these days. Not a big change but for years I’ve been trying to put on some weight, i’d like to know what 115 feels like, so it’s frustrating.
I’ve never had any surgery on my abdomen, no ER visits, and I still have my appendix.

continuation…i rambled on too long to fit in one post…
Can anyone point me towards any research connecting these sorts of episodic symptoms and EDS, mast cells, dysautonomia or anything else that could be the missing puzzle piece? Is any one else familiar with this?
Thank you so much to any who’s taken to time to read this novel. I really appreciate it.
