    It's good to see type 3 being spoken about. The amount of times drs will dismiss type 3 as double jointed. *eyeroll*

    Finally good to see you posting videos again for the first time in a while, Stevie! Cone on, now! What's with you, girl?! Also, good to see these types of conditions like EDS be talked about and stuff like that! People need to hear more about this and other things like it more often because I feel like when we're talking conditions, it just doesn't get brought up enough at all! We need to change that, so this video is one step closer to fixing that problem in the future! Thanks, Stevie!

    I always need to pause and wait to learn which "ED" a person is talking about since I have also seen it used for Eating Disorder and is very common for Erectile Dysfunction commercial products.

    Wish there was more information widely available! I have EDS and the one thing that tipped it is it's the only thing anybody found that also explained why my teeth came in with no enamel! I'm saving up to get implants bc my dentures and the teeth I have left are destroyed. Dental health=health.

    When I went for the diagnosis my doc literally told me: "I only diagnose people when I can already see it in the waiting room, because with eds patients the skin hangs loose on the face." And then proceeded to tell me i was exactly 1 point short, while skipping parts of the exam. And that means no treatment nor any consideration of my symptoms during other surgeries I unfortunately needed. And in my country basically everybody refers to this one hospital for eds so forget about trying again. Healthcare sucks

    Also the skin hypersextensibility can look different for people with more fat in their body, my skin is still very stretchy all over and thin in certain areas but it’s thick in others because of that layer of fat

    Watching you stretch your skin made me wince even though, I assume, it's normal for you and doesn’t cause you pain. Although you mentioned eds causes pain so maybe other things hurt?

      Genetic testing is not a required part of being diagnosed with hEDS. It’s a clinical diagnosis.

    I just found out that I have had EDS my whole life and I never realized it. So many things I have always taken for granted I am only now learning are not normal. 😒 I have to see my doctor in a couple of weeks but I've been dealing with Trigeminal Neuralgia for almost 9 years and guess what, it could be caused be the EDS and none of the neurologist ever looked. 😒

    See I’ve been diagnosed with several things over the years when I think it could all be EDS. I was told I had hyper mobility and would just have to live with the pain. It was never said to be EDS though. I have since also been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I bruise easy and have bladder issues all my life. So again I’m figuring it’s EDS. The only things that have held me off from looking at getting a diagnosis is I’ve never dislocated anything and I don’t think I have stretchy skin. But if those aren’t essential…

    The 3 things people with EDS should absolutely be exploring to improve quality of life and pain are-
    - brain retraining
    - detox (I think cellcore is the best)
    - (and possibly) mold avoidance
    After years of research I will never underestimate the power of stress and mold and what they create together.
