Feeling Discouraged

If a physician mentions that there are no treatments for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome they most likely mean that they do not know how to help you.

I have hEDS and formulated a treatment plan for myself and others with symptomatic joint hypermobility (SJH). Tap the link in our bio to learn more.
