my doctor told me to get off the internet and said if nothing comes back on the blood work or if they fix any issues they see and it's still happening then he will pray

Good to know. I definitely go in describing a BUNCH of symptoms and they immediately say it's anxiety. I'll do one or two at a time.

This is SUCH great advice - MAKE SEPERATE APPOINTMENTS. It suuucks, but that is the best way for them to listen

If you don’t mind sharing, what kinds of appointments/treatments are you doing that you’re going so often? My doctors gave diagnoses without much trouble but I feel like they haven’t offered much

This is so helpful. My cardio did diagnose my hEDS when we did pots testing. But as I learn more about mcas, I think that might be there too but don’t know what to do next

I tracked everything for my POTS and i got an eyeroll about not doing it right and maybe my pulseox was cheap (it was the same one they had and the app tracked it all).

I’ve been diagnosed with POTS, MCAS, ME/CFS, FIBROMYALGIA all since I got Covid in 2022. I’m in Uk. I’m struggling to get diagnosed with POTS. I’ve not got Eds - my MCAS is the killer!

I have strong belief I have pots, I get dizzy/short of breath/ heart palps if I stretch suddenly just standing. and I think I'm at least partially eds? is it possible to only be 50% hyper flexible?

Super interesting hearing about your POTS diagnosis process, when I was tested for it they literally just had me lay day and do an ECG, no tilt table, sitting to standing and that was the last (1/2)

Can I ask what treatments you get for IBS? I finally got a diagnosis after ages and was just told to suck it up as there isn’t anything that can be done. So no help whatsoever 😭

My doctor's first thing is "might be your iron level?" Like ma'am, never in the history of my myriad bood tests has iron ever been lower than necessary, can we start being serious anytime soon? 😭

Alice ♿ 🏳️⚧️ :
I've been diagnosed with so many things but they refuse to properly consider hEDS even though I meet the criteria. It's either anxiety or fibro. but the symptoms are nothing like fibro.

rachelbrown761 :
PCP referrals are key! Go in w a list! Take your time. If hEDS 1st, did trajectory. But PCP every 3mos, do your best. As diagnoses come in, next PCP get referrals. And listen to her!!! Great approach!

This is exactly how it went with my PCP. I had to tell him “I think I have EDS” then explain why I thought this - he referred me to a rheumatologist
