Hi Barbara
Thank you for your reply, it was coming across one of Dr Diana’s videos by “chance” that I found the courage to seek out a Doctor who could actuarially answer the question that I had about my Hypermobile joints and any connection with EDS and that being the underlying course, I have wondered for some years after reading things on the web. But when I’d asked the Doctors dealing with me, they didn’t know, said I didn’t look like I could have EDS and ignored that part. Trouble is modern medicine only looks at bit of a person ie the heart, or leg or tummy, so when somebody comes along with problems in all areas, they tend to be told its all in the head, or labeled with things like ME, IBS, FIBROMYALGIA, etc. for some reason medics have stopped looking at the whole person and seeing how one area affects another and all the knock on affects, thus they miss the point in an illness like ours. I may be wrong on this point and will not be in the lest offended if others don’t agree. I’m looking forward to getting to know more of you on this board, oh I didn’t say but I an also dyslexic, so sometimes my spell checker can’t catch some of the more strange spelling or a word spelled right but the wrong word used, so pleas forgive me when I get it wron.g
