I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago but it looks like I have had it since late 2020. I hope that airway clearance is something that they will teach me at The U because I am so new to this. I have been the type of person that is horribly embarrassed to cough my entire life. I have taught myself subconsciously to do everything not to. Thank you for your response. I was reading something in my blood work and thought that it meant that it was genetic and I had a complete meltdown. Having everything blamed on having Elhers Danlos is devastating. I have deteriorated in the last to years so badly I need some hope. I haven’t started treatment yet. I start go to my first appointment in July
