All in the family

Exhausted trying to get a diagnosis of hEDS.

But now I'm under pressure because my two sons show symptoms. One is Autistic, one is pending assessment. And me? After seeing all the paperwork I realise I'm an undiagnosed autistic adult at 46.

This is on top of, my sister's Chiari Malformation, my late Father's Ankylosing Spondylitis, my Fibromyalgia (supposedly), Hypermobility etc.

Having a hell of a week. As I got full records from the doctor to check over for insurance, and I was diagnosed with CFS & Hypermobility Syndrome in 2000 - the doctor NEVER divulged it to me.

Spoke with the rehab doctor today. I did not fit the diagnosis criteria for hEDS due to skin qualifications. When I asked about HSD she dodged the question and said that this doesn't mean hypermobility isn't an issue.
My chart current says Polyarthralgia/ Polyarthritis with joint hypermobility. I just keep getting bounced around. Ugh.
