Thank you for your reply. Looks like that is one in Florida and I'm in Iowa going to Rochester MN clinic. I'm sorry thought it was for there.

Oh, no problem. I actually didn't even know they had an EDS Clinic in Rochester. I live in Illinois and was evaluated at Mayo Rochester in 2017 (but they missed the diagnosis, and I have other intertwined diagnoses). Last year, my doctor suggested I try to put in another appointment request at Rochester, and it was promptly declined. When I spoke with someone on the phone there, they told me about the EDS Clinic in Jacksonville. He explained while they treat EDS at all locations, Jacksonville has a dedicated clinic. And they allow self-referrals in this specific clinic, whereas at Rochester in particular, it can be very difficult to get an appointment. It almost feels like an application process, and I didn't get in, so that wasn't an option for me. I especially liked how at the EDS Clinic in Jacksonville, they lowered the barriers to get an appointment. But I hope it works out for you, as Rochester would be much closer!
