The average diagnostic delay for hEDS is 22 years—which means most of us spent decades being told it was growing pains, anxiety, or just the cost of being a kid, and the people saying it genuinely believed they were right.
(Spoiler alert!) They weren't. And I will never stop being angry about that gap. (I’m trying REALLY hard here not to get on my soapbox, but you know where I’m at.)
We see children as young as 4 at Connective Wellness, because the earlier someone gets a name for what their body is doing, the less of their life gets spent wondering what's wrong with them.
