I have EDS & gastroparesis too. I was diagnosed at 32. I agree symptom management is a full time job, I work and have kids so I always feel like I’m drowning.

Hello! Took forever to get diagnosed. Managing my symptoms is exhausting and is ruling my life right now.

I get that! Until you realize what works & what doesn’t it is overwhelming! I pace myself every day & some days I just don’t have it. Weather makes a big difference too. If big storms or barometric pressure changes I know it.

that is crazy they got it so early. It wasn’t known about when I was young! I’m 58 . We thought our youngest son might have it but it looks like he is a carrier. I think my oldest son has it because his hips come out of socket easily now as an adult. He refuses to believe it. I had Covid in 2020 & it has really effected me. I still have problems w my bp. I have Gastroparesis as well. My stomach works about 40% of the time.
