Physician Gaslighting Me About Ehlers Danlos Diagnosis

if your doctor has to google it, it's time to find a new doctor. your gp should've referred you to a rheumatologist or an orthopedist if she wasn't sure what EDS was instead of pretending she was at all qualified to make that call. definitely leave a scathing review on google though 😊 people deserve to know what they're getting into when it comes to a bad doctor

see, I'm pretty sure I've had MULTIPLE accounts of bladder prolapse against my vaginal wall but she was convinced I didn't because I had never "seen a doctor for it". I was like "I also didn't see a doctor for my very dislocated shoulder and when I broke my thumb in two pieces"

I would try to find a new physician. Even if you do know you meet all of the criteria, going back to them when they are clearly uneducated on eds is not going to help you get a proper diagnosis or any symptom management. I would suggest looking into genetics or rheumatology; it may take a while to get into an appointment, but it will totally be worth it.
