Of 16-18 doctors, apart from my diagnosing Geneticist, only one was familiar with EDS. A few had heard of it in med school. So, I explain introduce it/educate the physician, then pay royally for the medical visit. The bottom line: EDS is so rare, it's not even being researched. AWARENESS!

Thanks Rachel xxx :)

My daughter was diagnsoed w/EDS 3 when she was about 11 yrs. old. She is now 23, underwent her 17th surgery this past summer. She is an inspiration and has touched many!

The chronic & debilitating pain, anxiety & dysautonomia conditions affect all aspects of my life, & because it is an invisible illness it is difficult for others (including doctors) to understand.

This cause is important to me because EDS has affected me and several other family members...recent diagnosis explains a lifetime of medical issues...finally all of the puzzle pieces are in place! Now the important thing is to educate ourselves and others about this rare chronic disease!

my 11 year old son and I both have Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.
