What happens when the medical establishment tells you your debilitating symptoms are "all in your head"? Dr. Diana Driscoll shares her journey from successful optometrist to disabled POTS patient and groundbreaking researcher. After a virus triggered debilitating autonomic dysfunction, she and her children faced severe health issues, prompting her to seek answers when traditional medicine failed them.

Dr. Driscoll developed the Driscoll Theory, identifying three critical factors in conditions like POTS: high intracranial pressure, cardiovascular inflammation, and vagus nerve dysfunction. Surprisingly, standard treatments often exacerbated patients' conditions.

Using her optometry skills, she identified subtle eye abnormalities indicating blood vessel damage, leading to the development of supplements like Parasym Plus that target the underlying issues affecting the autonomic nervous system. Now, her children live normal lives, proving recovery is possible.

Dr. Driscoll's message is one of hope for those facing invisible illnesses: "There's always a reason for illness." Through POTS Care and ongoing research, she continues to seek answers for patients worldwide, offering support for anyone fighting for validation and effective treatments.
