There are no doctors with availability around me 4 plus hours out. my mom is diagnosed. i have all the symptoms. yet no doctor will diagnose me, and im in limbo and im in so much pain everyday. i had a big surgery 2 years ago and my life flipped and i havent been the same.

[@Emily7778]

Its so difficult. I finally found a doctor who will see me and my appointment was scheduled 8 months out 🙃

[@GizmoGremlinDog]

I asked my GP about EDS as myself, my daughter and son have symptoms. She asked "what's that?" So I'm pretty much screwed if this is what we have

[@ascargot]

Same with me. I live in Ontario and apparently the only ones that can diagnose are the doctor of the Ehlers-Danlos Clinic i Toronto, with a wait list of 2.5 years.

[@skyetoddmakeup]

I live in Texas and just got diagnosed after searching the state for 5+ years for a doctor who could help me. Even though it's not a rheumatological condition, my local rheumatologist is familiar with it because his son has it, so he's treating me now. But I totally understand. It's been hell.

[@nichole634]

My primary doctor referred me to a geneticist who sent me the genetic testing kit from invitae in the mail. Everything was Teledoc / phone conversations aside from the cheek swab at home.

Awesome job on explaining EDS! Keep up the great work! I have Classical EDS and not many physicians have an inkling of a clue what it is! Which means going to hospital for a EDS patient is very difficult and scary! Luckily my Neurologist’s office is very familiar with EDS and POTS, which I have. I have GERD AND PCOS. Along with Migraines and CCI( I sleep with a CCollar on at night). I could do these things as a child and young adult and a teenager, but due to a fatal car accident that killed my mother and mangled me I am unable to do much of anything at the moment. I am still very hyper mobile however! Especially in my arms and knees and the tops of my feet’s. .

[@19HuskyWolf70]

My girlfriend is struggling with EDS life, she can't sleep 4 hrs on average a night, can't eat.
Doctors in Michigan have no clue. She also is dealing with MCAS

[@RhesusMedicine]

Thanks 🙂

[@waelfadlallah8939]

Thank you 😊

[@RhesusMedicine]

You're welcome 😊

[@tessaelisabeth7393]

I was diagnosed with EDS recently. It impacts my entire body. Does anyone have severe tummy problems from it? I am looking for another doctor bc they think I have something else (POTS)

[@shannongreenwell1278]

I have GERD due to my EDS and I have POTS, too. I have cEDS.

[@liliumdahlia]

I have irritable bowl syndrome and a prolapsed pelvic floor

[@anntunaley9974]

U most likely have gastroparesis. Most of us with EDS do.

[@user-vi2hx9ui5j]

I have terrible stomach issues. Pain. It feels as though I can feel my food moving through my intestines and it’s just pain. Makes it hard to eat at all. I have no idea how to deal with it.

[@Baragaki_Lily]

I have POTS, fibro and now possibly this EDS' thing- before all the watchamatchacallit diagnosis- my tummy has suffered the horrors™ since i was born into this wasteland. A lot of puke and sh❤t in my life until I ended up malnourished in 2019 and in 2020 when i almost threw up my gut out of my useless body the doctors took me seriously- and treated me accordingly- After 2 and a half years of eating tasteless stuff now i'm okay and not actively dying (fat and happy or so they say). They told me at that time i had irritable bowel syndrome but now i know it was related to the illness i've mentioned at the start of this rant, it sucks! It really does! I can't remember how cheese or french fries taste like but i can eat Oreos and drink vegan strawberry milk to my ❤'s content so it's okay . Now i'm fully experiencing chronic pain, fainting at least twice a week but without sh❤tting myself to death so it is an improvement! 🎉🎉🎉

[@ngocquynhnhuhuynh3227]

Luckily, I have only hypermobility (up to now), so I can’t run

[@user-sm7ue1cb6y]

Plus Cranial Istability, and Occult Tethered Cord..

[@happyhenryxii1956]

[@dr.moustafaibrahim6810]

My wife applied for divorce after she got to know that's no cure for me and she left me suffering by myself in New York hospitals cuz I have EDS
