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.
Mahalo Dr. Diana for your response! In researching Topamax which my neurologist prescribed, I’m a big scared to be honest. He asked me if I was done having children because of the possible birth defects. Yikes! I asked about Diamox and he replied that if I don’t have papilledema that I couldn’t have intracranial hypertension even though my optic nerves have increased in size ever since I starting feeling like this. What are your thoughts? My plan B is to try my PCP and ask her to prescribe Diamox. What dosage should people start off on?
Again, Mahalo nui (thank you abundantly) for your help!
