EDS?!

I've had a long day of appointments... (It's that time again ten hundred specialists to see) But I still got to laugh at this sign! "Healing is in the air." I stood there for a minute just to make sure! Lol Only at a Hospital will You find such a sign! P.S don't smoke! It's bad for You! No no! 
We Got stuck on the freeway (they ended up closing it and kicking us off after thirty minutes, prayers for the people involved. Must have been very bad to close down the freeway!) I almost missed my  second appointment #yikes! I get to take a week break from those treatments and start again because well it's tough and my doctor feels a break is needed. So I am taking  her up on My break and hopefully some horrible pain will go away for a few days. (I get a 7 day break) The treatment long term should have a really good pay off. It's simply getting there. Then my Neuro went well. He isn't sure of my hand but does think I could have a pinched nerve in my neck. He says let's wait and see what nerve conduction study shows and we will go from there. We may do another MRI (yay my millionth. I should be glowing from all the radiation I have had)  When I asked,  "If that was the issue what we would do?" he said, "the less we possibly can in your case. You finally have life to You we will not do anything to mess that up." He also reminded me how careful I must be to not get sick in anyway because of the possibility to change course of My wellness with Dysatuonomia. (Good idea) I just want to put a reminder out to everyone that if you are sick... Seriously stay home! So many people are chronically ill and a cold or the flu is a really big life changing event for us! And look at the photo above I look perfectly healthy and fine. You'd never know how fragile my future health truly is by looking at me! He examined my neck and I have been Re-diagnosed with EDS A.K.A Elhers Danlos Syndrome. I was diagnosed originally when I was diagnosed with POTS but current neurologist undiagnosed me when I started seeing him. I suppose I don't have so much going on now that other things are going to be more obvious and prevail. EDS clusters with POTS. I was skeptic I could have EDS so I am not super surprised. However I really don't know anything about it besides it is a collagen disorder. It causes hyper extension of joints and other issues but I know very little.(that's the part I don't like not knowing and having my answers to my questions.)   So um, well I honestly just don't know what to think yet. He said I've been living with it for a while so I know what it's like... (I guess I have research to do) He is putting me into physical therapy for my neck as well but he isn't sure when just because I am already in therapy and he wants to look it out more. I also am going back to follow with rheumatology to see if they can yet again figure out my untied ends to my tests reaults of Sjögren's Syndrome. I put this all in the Lord's hands "Come What may and love it!" Faith. All is well minus some little things! That's the way we like it! Well! -Chelle
