Default Connective Tissue Disease

If the neuro opthamologist cannot help me, I will definitely switch to audio books. My problem is sometimes I can read longer than others - both regular books/magazines and my IPAD.

I don't mind sharing at all- I have Ehlers Danlos Hypermobility (HEDS)which I discovered was the cause of my dysautonomia. I saw many docs on my 30 year journey of headaches and was finally diagnosed by a geneticist. I recommend anyone with intractable headaches (especially if you have autonomic problems) to read about the various types of Ehlers Danlos. I cannot post a link yet - not enough posts. There is an excellent NIH article by Dr. Howard Levy and other excellent articles by Dr. Pocinki.


Thanks for the advice!
