Tired of being told there’s no name or treatment for your illness? That it’s 'all in your head' or that your pain can’t be real because you’re too young/old/pretty/bright/healthy/normal to have a chronic disorder?
What if instead, there was someone who knew what you were going through and could teach you strategies for coping with rare chronic illness?
This is not a false hope. You can turn pain into possibility with this life-changing book that can help everyone with elusive hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) – from those newly diagnosed to those who have suffered in silence for decades.
