    • About Me

      I have Ehlers-danlos, bursitis, osteoarthritis in 3 joints, and DDD of total spine. Lots of pain every day-some better some worse. I cannot stand or walk for more than a few minutes without ending up in extreme pain-it has sent me to the ER several times, but now my local hospital won't help any more for the really bad days.---add scoliosis to the mix now too...

      Hi Hon

      I looked up EDS doctors in the country and got this for Ohio
      Dr. Dennis Bartholomew - Columbus, Ohio
      Dr. Thomas Burrow - Cincinnati, Ohio

      I found this sight that lists them throughout the country http://dyingtolive.info/doctors.html

      Hope this helps! :) CathyM and Otis

      I am sorry to hear that you have had a bad pain week. I'll bet you are miserable. When do you see the Rheumatologist? Maybe he will give you something better for pain. You can always hope, right?lol Anyway, big hug to you. Feel better!

      Hi,
      I hope your Rheumy helps you with meds. Mine said he doesn't Rx pain meds. He wouldn't even refill my Imitrex! Keep us posted. Sorry to hear your daughter also has EDS!

      Sheri, I'm so glad you found out about your daughter inheriting EDS when you did. I can only imagine how glad you must be that you got her checked for this when you did. I am hoping for the best for her and for you too. Just wanted to send you a hug and wish you a good night! Take care, Peggy

    • I’m With You

      From wyrd1 October 14

      My thoughts are with you...not familiar with your diagnosis. Spent years sweating it out that my son "caught " my fun! He's 22, still healthy! He could still pop up with it, (its an obscure auto-immue disease), but he's healthy.My symptoms showed up when I was 21, so I still worry some! But for now, all is GOOD!! I'll think good thoughts for you and your little one!
