Poor awareness of the conditions amongst medical professionals means they can go undiagnosed for many years, with people often being misdiagnosed with other conditions, being given incorrect or unnecessary treatment, or no treatment at all. Early diagnosis, and recognition of EDS and HSD, is key to improving quality of life.
A better understanding of EDS and HSD in primary care could make a huge difference to the day-to-day lives of many people struggling to manage their symptoms. Most GPs will not have had any specific training on EDS or other hypermobility-related disorders and therefore their awareness is not high.
