GERD, migraines, fainting, brain fog, and other gradually increasing symptoms in an EDS case

When is spinal surgery really necessary? When can it be avoided? Ross Hauser, MD reviews the Digital Motion X-ray in a middle-aged woman with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome who is suffering from worsening symptoms of GERD, migraines, fainting, brain fog, and more. Her case demonstrates how DMX is used to help decide when Prolotherapy is the preferred option and when certain symptoms may indicate that neck surgery is necessary.

Super glad you are covering Ehlers Danlos Syndrome!! Hate all the comorbid conundrums with this condition!

I have today went to seek medical help for my sore throat heartburn and fuzzy head and have been told this is most likely gurt which before today I knew nothing about. I am very distressed at the thought of this being part of my life forever and very scared as it seems my life will be forever changed but also glad I have some sort of explanation of my symptoms that I would not wish on my worst enemy. For everybody who has commented my thoughts and sympathy is with you guys stay strong and healthy

This is so incredibly true to what I experience sporadically. I’ve looked into prolotherapy and have found it is not covered by insurance.

[maha_sage]

This looks like a great channel.
I pat my back for this discovery!

[KristinaMarie]

I wish to God someone could help me, formerly diagnose and properly treat this problem. It is embarrassing for me when this is happening I hide and stay in bed staying away from everyone even my family.

Thanks Doc..your presentation is much appreciated. My wife has had a horrible journey with cancer and as her carer I need to see this. So often we are faced with a perceived emergency that turns out not to be. Its bankrupting us

[natalieedelstein]

Gotta say this is pure genius. I would say it sounds like a whole bunch of fluff with loose associations drawn if I wasn't experiencing it myself in an almost identical presentation and just was existing as my scientific background self (where we mostly study the typical rather than the atypical presentations and thus the connections you draw would seem very loosely linked--but that's exactly what EDS and other heritable CTDs are quite literally). This really hit home and clicked and I think you just helped me crack the code in my current near identical symptoms that are confusing everyone around me and ravaging my whole life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🥺

I have gerd too for a long time now. I didnt know that it can cause headache and dizziness and all those other symptoms which I am experiencing for years now..My legs feels heavy and I have brain fog as well. Also the ringing sound in my left ear. I am having anxiety as well. I wish you can help me.

[chargerdodge]

I wish I was closer to you. I get brain fog, fatigue, lots of headaches, neck and face numbness, ringing in my ear, feeling dizzy. Sometimes I feel like my tongue and speech is off for a brief time.

Just reading the comments gives me anxiety. Stop reading the comments and give it God

Brain Used to be sharp as a tack. Fused neck vertebrae caused by AS/DISH. And thin neck muscles.

I was diagnosed with GERD 8 months ago. Had no idea it's connected to my brain fog

Thank You for your dedication !!
What a wonderful physician who really knows what he is talking about!!
I Have EDS/ POTS/ MCAD/ Occip Neuralgia a couple dozen other dx and a few funny little gene mutations in the SLC6a2 and SCN11Genes, MTHFR, elevated VGKC ABS, MALS...and a Cervical burn spur
All was managed for years then a period of great fatigue, and an injury were I probably did EDS damage...ended up with cervical swelling, eye hemmorhage, and moderate anaphylaxis, 2 trips to the Emergency...( they didnt know what to make of it !?!?) that was about 30 months ago...then about a month after injury daily Convulsive Syncope started. Is it Neuro Cardiogenic or is it Orthostaic Convulsive Syncope? Is it the SLC6a2 variant and POTS or is it a Hypoperfusion kink in my spine?
Damage to my MALS causing further restriction? Is it damage to the Brachial Plexus ? Is it Multi- Plexus Damage?
Vagus Nerve Damage due to EDS damage and POTS Dysautonomia?
Is it CCI / AAI...am I mis dx...was Morvans missed?...MS or MECFS?...have had extensive testing.
6 years of dx, travel and over 30 speacilists.2.5 years of convulsive syncope issues. Now working with my 7th neuro/ 3rd Dysautonomia speacilist..and trying to find my new 8th Cardio that speacilizes in Dysautonomia!!!!
I cant drive, travel or even ride anymore with out a serious convulsive syncope event, I have had to close my business and have not worked in 2.5 years...I am mid aged. This has been such an exhaustion to me and my family.
It is a great dis service there are such few physicians World wide for Dysautonomia/ EDS / MCAD Trifecta Syndrome Overlaps.
Hope for Hope someday I will have answers and no more convulsive syncope!! Physicians like you who keep researching and provide great care can and do make it possible💙🦓🦓💙

I just got diagnosed with gerd in the er last night and it's been awful. After every meal I have thrown up. This is so scary. Screaming for help please!

[patrickjc]

I have combination of GERD and Chronic Atropic Gastritis due to H Pylori. All of these symptoms have been present to my case. After a quadruple antibiotic treatment and New generation PPI, most of my symptoms have greatly reduced. Gastritis also plays a big role in these inflammation and may be a silent disease. Ask your doctor about getting tested for this. It’s an easy test get. Hope this helps.

I am thinking this is me. I had strange health problems since 2008. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure when I graduated in 2008. I had so many symptoms and I went to many doctors, and I am still have symptoms. Right now is a new symptom. I am dizzy and lightheaded for over a week now. I had blood tests and the doctor said I am a little dehydrated, which does not make sense anyway. I am getting off of my amlodipine and switching to propranolol this weekend. So far, the propranolol is doing better maintaining my blood pressure. I am still lightheaded. I suspect it is sinuses because when I went to the dentist, they kept saying I have serious sinuses in my head. I had no clue sinuses could be this bad. I wonder if these are the root of all my health problems since 2008.
