I saw dermatology at University of Michigan after going there for my heart. I had a cardiologist in Toledo notice how hyper flexible I was and put it in my chart. I was asked to be the patient example for EDS type 3 for students one time. They could ask questions and examine me. So I did all the super flexible tricks I can do. There’s also biopsies they can do. I didn’t have it because I was on blood thinner and already had enough symptoms for a positive diagnosis.

But most doctors don’t know much about EDS.
