A member asked:

Should i get tested for ehlers danlos syndrome if i have a majority of the symptoms and are in my early 20?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Specific tests for Ehler-Danlos are expensive and not readily available and there are more than one type. Management depends more on clinical findings than tests. Usually other family members are involved. That said, if there is a medical school or foundation near you that is involved in testing for studies, etc. ,go ahead.
