Hello all!
Just a quick introduction. I am a 18 year old girl with a tentative diagnosis of Type 2 or Classical type EDS. I also have early onset osteoarthritis and fibromialgia and possibly something called Albright's. I am the kind of person who basically collects information on just about anything so when the rheumatologist scheduled me for physical therapy for something called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome I began my quest for information. I now have a few questions and hope y'all can help. None of my family has it and from what I've read, family history is pretty high up on the list for diagnosis. Does this rule out EDS? Is it unusual for a doctor to prescribe physical therapy without a definite diagnosis? Do the symptoms worsen over time? Or is it constant? (can't think of a better word) I may have more questions later, but I'll hold them till the doctor is sure this is what I have.
