So disappointing to be at The Mother Ship and feel unheard. Don't know if this is helpful, but I went to the Mayo Jacksonville campus and was seen by Dr. Dacre Knight there. He heads up their Ehlers Danlos specific clinic. Incredible teams all phenomenally well versed in EDS from the OT, PT to Gyn, pelvic floor therapists, etc. It was remarkable. Dr. Knight is passionate about EDS and helping our community. He diagnosed me with hEDS and Fibromyalgia, but also ran the genetic test to rule out any of the genetic EDS varients. Lastly, he explained what was what and demystified so much of this. Ran and SNIPS test too, so now we know what meds work for me and which will be ineffective. Most important, now we know that I hyper rapid metabolize some meds that make them dangerous for me. If you can swing getting to him I really believe in him and his team. I'm 51 and have lived with this my entire life. Finally felt seen, heard, validated and supported.

It's sad that you had to travel to Jacksonville when we have access to Rochester. I was hoping someone at "the mothership". ( we call Rochester that as well in Eau Claire) would be able to help with a diagnosis.

Hi, I just logged on to the EDS group to see how people got diagnosed. How current is this information, as far as Dr. Knight goes- and is there a clinic elsewhere that people have had good experience with? I live in the Boston area.
Thanks!
