Description
From the Publisher:
In an effort to help as many people as possible, The Driscoll Theory was first revealed in June, 2011. It was a complete paradigm shift from the traditional view of autonomic dysfunction in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome patients. The Driscoll Theory changed lives almost immediately and we heard from many people from around the globe experiencing overnight relief from symptoms that were previously labelled as anxiety , cranio-cervical instability , hypervigilance or mental problems . You will hear from a handful of these patients in this book. Their journeys may sound like yours.
What began as an overwhelmingly complicated problem, now appears much more manageable. Dr. Driscoll peeled back the layers one at a time. Scientific evidence was critical. She began by looking closely in the back of the eyes of affected patients an unparalleled window to neurological and vascular disorders. Without locating scientific evidence of the underlying problem, patients could be left to chase symptoms. Something had to change.
It is time to share more of what we ve learned, to get the newbies caught up, and to discuss what can be done to reverse the process of autonomic dysfunction in many patients. We hope it will help many others like us, and we hope it will encourage specialists involved in both autonomic dysfunction and in disorders of connective tissue to think outside of the proverbial box.
This well researched book contains almost 100 peer reviewed references, and is a MUST READ for patients, their families and their physicians. Sufferers of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue will also find helpful parallels to their conditions.
About the Author:
Dr. Diana Driscoll, a therapeutic optometrist, practiced in her field for over 20 years, where she received numerous awards for excellence. Struck down by a virus while on a mission trip, she was basically bed-ridden for three years. Because Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and dysautonomia is such an under-diagnosed condition, she found herself researching extensively for answers. When answers were elusive, she began conducting her own research to help everyone afflicted by this disabling condition.
She was thrilled to find answers and continues to work tirelessly in order to offer treatments for the cause of dysautonomia, not just the treatment of symptoms. She shares what she has learned here, knowing that it is helping so many already. Her research continues, and as science evolves, so will The Driscoll Theory .
Currently, her research has provided answers for numerous other related conditions, and she explains how vagus nerve compression and inflammatory cytokines are the likely causes for numerous symptoms in EDS/POTS, M.S., Chronic Fatigue (or M.E.), Chronic Lyme, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus, and other previously misunderstood conditions.
