Description

I made this small piece about Ehlers Danlos, a connective tissue disorder. Sadly, many children and adults go on for years suffering from this painful condition before a diagnosis is made. This is a life long disabilitating condition that causes chronic pain and injuries from sublaxations and dislocations. I n severe cases it is life threatening. Only a handful of doctors worldwide are experts in this condition and despite it being a joint and muscle condition, the majority of the worlds Rheumatologists fail to diagnosis this time and time again. Many parents of child sufferers have been investigated for child abuse due to the bruising and constant injuries their children endure, just adding to the trauma. Adults have gone from doctor to doctor, and many end up in the hands of mental health deemed to have psychological problems for an imaginary condtion. There is a simple diagnosis proceedure initially, that is a good indicator that Ehlers Danlos, especially the Hypermobility type could be the problem, why is this not being done?
