This is heart breaking and needs to stop. Many of my connections know that I have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos - Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder and have seen my sufferings over the years of knowing me. It was not until I left UK and moved to Qatar that I received the medical help I needed. I believe Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar saved my life. Sadly the NHS left me suffering like this beautiful girl. Please take time to read this. Its a condition which is genetic and in my family. Too many EDS sufferers are turned away by medical professionals being told there is nothing wrong with them, when living with chronic symptoms that affect daily living and the ability to be able to hold down a job, go to school, complete education. Imagine being chronically ill, in pain, daily suffering, and no-one will help. Instead you are shouted at by Doctors, embarrassed, ridiculed, patronized.
