Lisa, I’m so sorry to hear about your horrible experience! I can’t believe he was so heartless as to try to just continue the exam as usual, despite saying that you were crying. It just breaks my heart. Yes, Dr. shopping may be a good idea for you. Do you have a copy of my book about EDS and the eyes? It’s inexpensive, and I can send you a worksheet for your doctor that may also help. I found the best way to find doctors is to ask my friends. I’d highly recommend taking a friend with you at your next appointment. You need an advocate – someone who will give the doctor a piece of your mind if mistreatment like that occurs again. 🙂 Cross linking is likely a good thing for you to consider, if it is available where you live. Here in the states, it is only available in clinical trials. Please let us know how it goes, and don’t let mean, nasty, indifferent folks like him get under your skin. Big hug…

“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.”
