Does anyone else have EDS?
I'm tired of the constant pain and suffering I get from this. I dislocated my shoulder 3 times since Friday. It hurts so much.
I'm reaching out to see if someone understands what I'm going through. I feel alone and feel like people just think I make this stuff up.

Re: Elders Danlos support group
Thank you @NatureLover
It's hard to deal with sometimes. I hadn't dislocated anything in years and now this. The pain sucks.

Hi @The-red-centaur , that sounds quite painful. Have you seen your local GP? It may be more helpful than a mental health website such as this one. Or you could perhaps try and do an online search for more info.

Hi @The-red-centaur
I'm sorry to hear this is happening for you. I've read about it and it sounds really painful. I have some hypermobility and was afraid I had it. But I don't have other symptoms. I hope you find some others who might have it. Have you tried Facebook for groups? I am in a few really supportive FB groups for some health issues I've had and find them really great.
