A member asked:
I looked up ehler danlos and saw a lot of things i have. how can i be tested?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First: The first step is a clinical history and physical examination. Most ehlers-danlos are diagnosed on this basis alone. Doctors who are most familiar with the syndrome are geneticists and rheumatologists. If you make an appointment with a doctor, ask first if he/she evaluates patients for this syndrome.
