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.
Thank you, Diana! I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate you, your theory, your videos, your website – EVERYTHING you do for us all. You are so courageous and you are blessing people with your humor, grace, mercy and love.
For now, I think I am going to abstain from the LP, particularly because the neurosurgeon was dismissive of POTS/dysautonomia and he’s not even convinced it’s a leak. It’s his only resource, not necessarily the best treatment option.
The good news is we’ve ruled out a chiari malformation and they don’t seem to see hydrocephalus, (we looked at everything!) despite symptoms.
And yes, I will be watching potassium and CO2. I filled capsules with baking soda while watching a movie and take them daily.
May God bless you and your family abundantly!
