What were your symptoms with EDS? When my EDS, so I've always had issues as a child. So I always was double jointed. I always had different parts of my joints, the sublux and things like that. And I was always in pain. I was in absolute pain as a child. That was because of the doctors all the time. And I had a lot of stomach issues. So it wasn't until my stomach issue progressed at the age of 21, where a lot of my gastrointestinal organs, some of them prolapse generally. So because of that, that's where that then led me to the diagnosis of EDS.
