He has treated people with EDS before. It would explain my physical history. I received the suggestion of EDS after my last appointment with the neurologist and don't have another appointment until next April. I mentioned EDS to my nurse practitioner, she said she had never heard of EDS and asked when my next appointment with the neurologist was.
I was considered doublejointed as a child then a person with hypermobile joints. I could put my legs behind my head one without much assistance. I still have greater than normal range of motion. I also have a lot more of the criteria.
On another note I had a bone density test yesterday. I have gone from 5 feet 7 inches (actually a hair under) to 5 feet 4 1/2 inches.
I am not prepared to say who told me about the inequity in medical treatment.
