What Is The Treatment For Ehler Danlos Syndrome?
Ehler Danlos syndrome
I'm a 48 year old woman recently diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome. I have the hyper mobility type and have known there was something wrong for years.
my question is this because this is such a complex syndrome involving so many different body parts, what type of doctor should I be seeing for treatment? I have seen rheumatologist, neuologist, general practitioners, Nero surgeons, occupational therapist, physical therapist, who do I continue seeing to better treat me as a whole?
