Ehlers-Danlos syndrome isn’t rare, it’s just rarely diagnosed. It can take an average of 10-12 years to be diagnosed with hypermobility-spectrum disorder or one of the 13 EDS sub-types. For me, it took for me to end up in a wheelchair, unable to walk after complaining of pain in my legs for 25 years.
I’ve written about my experiences – what works and doesn’t work for me, what I’ve learnt about EDS, the doctors who treat me, its connections with other conditions, my diet and so much more right here on this blog.
On this page, I list below all my relevant articles to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and POTS just for easier navigation.
