I have multiple symptoms of hEDS, including hypermobility, joint instability, and chronic pain, but my after my rheumatologist told me I was hypermobile, he told me not to come back to him unless I had asymptomatic of rheumatoid arthritis. he also told me to take more Tylenol because it doesn't affect the liver(which I know is not correct). How should I move forward? I understand I probably need to find a new rheumatologist, but I'm not sure how to get more adequate testing done.

      Just looked at my record from the appointment, and he didn't even put the hypermobility in my record. On top of that, he put my beighton as a 2, when I know for a fact that it's at least a 6

Based on the experiences shared in the context, it might be beneficial to seek a second opinion from another rheumatologist or a geneticist. Geneticists can look for markers in your DNA that could indicate hEDS. It's also important to find healthcare professionals who understand hypermobility and its associated symptoms.
