" I know, I don't get the reaction of a lot of doctors - I mean, I get that EDS is rare so few doctors know much about it , but why do the one's that don't know anything about it automatically brush it off as unimportant? It really irks the hell out of me!

I hope you're feeling better. What a rotten experience. "
