Hi, I struggle with possible hEDS. I’m in the process of getting a diagnosis. How long did it take everyone else to get diagnosed?

      If you think you have it go to a geneticist who specializes in it then it’s a blood test for all the Eds and a physical eval for hEds . But if you don’t specify go and say you want the tests it could be years and years so go get the tests done

      10 years of random illness. About one year after a doctor recognized it and sent me to a specialist.

      Once I was sent to a geneticist, he diagnosed me in five minutes.

      I’ll tell you when I get there. I have a fibro diagnosis (took 4 years to get) and now, 3 years later, my chiropractor just told me that she is almost certain I have it. Luckily the pain doctor I’ve been waiting for an appointment with for over a year and see in April is the same person she recommended I see for a diagnosis. Fingers crossed it works out!
