Hi @Tommyb92 - Welcome to the community. How lovely to read you're now working at the hospital that looked after you, & you do voluntary work too, etc. I think we're lucky you joined us, & I look forward to your further input.I've been to GOSH a few times; the last seeing a geneticist. Later had it confirmed that our family has the hypermobile type of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

I’ve also applied to do a bit of community work with Scope too!
