     @Teaceratops so the trick in QC to get seen by a doctor, is to let your health problem get to a point where it’s so bad, you’re prepared to spend 24 hours in ER, and then barrage whatever doctor you get with your medical history until you intimidate them into sending you for scans, after you have been awake for 33 hours. Got it :meowThinkingSmart:

     @Teaceratops
     Doctor: “did you dislocate much as a kid?”

     Me: “I’m not even sure if my toes are in joint *now*”

     Doctor: “hmm, yeah, they do go off on some angles, don’t they?”

     @Teaceratops

     doctor: “we usually help support EDS joints with splints-“

     Me: “I have a massive box of splints back home”

     Doctor: “oh you’re already well equipped then😅”

     @Teaceratops which is also shitty because there’s no cure, it’s genetic, and a lot of neurodiverse people have it, and I noticed my neurodiverse child has the same clicky wrists I have and fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

     Got to see the orthopaedic doctor. getting spine MRI check what’s being compressed 🎉

     Hubs also dropped the ‘could it be EDS Hypermobile type?’ Doctor asked ‘were you flexible as a child?’ I replied in used to be alble to scratch the top of my head with my toes’ so he did a quick Beighton tests and was like, “oh wow, actually you might be onto something there, we’ll look into that after we check your spine” which you know, COULD EXPLAIN WHY MY BODY KEEPS FALLING APART.
