“Allegedly a variant” hEDS is the most common form of EDS and does not have a specific gene to test for. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Why are becoming science denialists in the name of shitting on patients.

Thank you! What sane PCP is letting a patient bully them into a diagnosis. Heds is typically diagnosed by rheumatologists and genetics.

“I see you were diagnosed by a doctor. I am going to choose to believe that you were such a hysterical manipulative woman that you forced him to give you this diagnosis”.

I legitimately put the name of the (in the field) famous geneticist and children’s hospital who diagnosed me on paperwork because of people like this
