Has anyone gotten diagnosed with EDS in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, or Tennessee? Also, were you diagnosed under 18 or as an adult?

      Got diagnosed in Indy at 22~ I was born with and had surgery at a young age for abducted thumb too tho and now that's actually considered an EDS type itself so I was kind of diagnosed as a child but not really lol

          @Alux Dr. Carol with UK UHS. I was passed around by a bunch of UHS doctors for problems with my SI joints until I met with her and she diagnosed me.

      Instead of investigating, doctors in Tennessee said that nothing was wrong with me, and my rheumatologist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. I ended up moving and getting diagnosed in North Carolina.

      I was dx at Cincy Children’s by the geneticists in the connective tissue clinic. At that time, I was ~17. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions or want more in depth info! 😊

          @Alux lmao I took so long to respond but I honestly don’t remember… I had one visit in the genetics department that diagnosed me. Rheumatology never treated me for my EDS. I saw one a handful of times for my RSD/CRPS
