I think I may have Ehlers danlos syndrome but can’t get the GP to take me seriously. I’ve raised it a few times now but both times it’s been dismissed.
Not sure what to do really.0 -
Hi @ClaireS bless you, sorry to hear you've been dismissed. Is this all with the same Doctor? I'm just thinking it might be worth asking to run it past another at your Surgery. Is it that they've diagnosed you with something else, or completely dismissing this in it's entirety?

thanks for replying, sorry for the late reply.
It’s been a few doctors now that I’ve mentioned it too, they just dismiss it tbh,
It’s hard to diagnose EDS the doctor said to me.
