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 had the MTHFR results come back homozygous (C677T) so 2 copies. I just received an updated Drug Response result: Prothrombin G20210A (1 copy). Interestingly enough, this is the same mutation my uncle was found to have after a pulmonary embolism. I’m curious as to how these mutations may interact, if they do so, or if they both just have vascular implications, if that makes sense. The drug response report said to steer clear of estrogen supplements and oral contraceptives, which I don’t need, thankfully. I’ve been reading through the MTHFR posts from Marti and everyone who has gathered/explained information, and I’m so thankful this site exists. It’s impossible to make sense of these things individually – not to mention having EDS and a slew of fun issues with all that entails. Sigh.
