Welcome Ashley,
Blimey, you’ve been through the mill girl! You’ve had the full flavour of how mainstream doctors seem to pay little regard to the blatant signs and symptoms.

Rest assured you’re among friends here. I’m going to repeat something I heard on TV last night, which I thought was very fitting, it went something like:-
“I look upon my friends as a mattress. When I’m hurting, they are always there to help nudge me into a more comfortable position”.

From reading through your experiences, my initial thoughts turn towards magnesium deficiency amongst many other things but, you have to start somewhere and, believe me, every little helps! See if you recognise many of your symptoms in this document:-

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
