Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Tia, I can't help much, because I don't live in England any more, but one name that comes up a lot on the British EDS site is Prof. Bird. I think he's in Leeds. But, it also sounds like it takes a while to get in to see him. Sorry, I wish I could be of more help.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Dear Jill, I will probably start a.s.a.p. doing that and I know my questions were quite difficult to be answered but if you have already read the e-mail I've sent on 7-1-04 I'm sure that you have understood how much I need any info regarding that trip! I will go in a foreign country to visit a foreign doctor, the money needed are a lot, and I just wand to do everything I can to make the best out of this trip for my medical condition. The doctors here are backing up, they don't know what to do or say as they see my condition worsening. They don't know why the blood test examinations have this picture they just say that it is dangerous for me they way it develops. I want this " journey of unanswered questions " during my " medical " life to stop right now. I need to find some answers; what's wrong with me and what should I do about it? Oh my God I'm sorry I starting again.. " frustration " is talking!!! I have some questions for you or anyone willing to help: 1. I am preparing my medical history and I was thinking: what if I sent it to the doctors before I decide which one I will see (so that he/she could decide if he/she will see me and be prepared for me)? 2. How should a medical history be? 3. What should it conclude and what should it not? Well, if you have anything else to advice me, about this future appointment with the Doctor, I would be more than happy to know. Love Tia Re: This is an Emergency!!!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 even thoguh I live in Australia and cannot help you personally, I just wanted to say that no one can really help you with this I would think as each doctor is different in each situation and you are the only person I have heard of travelling like this to see another doctor ((I wish I could as I have been unbable to find even one doctor here in Australia who can or will help me (or a lot of the time even knows of EDS (or RSD))). Your best bet I would have thought would be to 1. either email them personally and ask them if they are willing to take you one (forwarding a one page summary of your condition and problems and what you wish to get out of your appointments in the UK) and 2. If I was you I would start with say the TOP guys like the professors (Bird, GRahame etc) as it is a pregnancy issue as well you may want to ask other EDS'ers on the board about Ob's and Gyn's who know about EDS and the EDS high risk preganacy issues and might be willing to take you on AS WELL (then when you do decide on a general EDS specialiast (i.e. Rheumatologist) make the Ob/Gyn appoointment(s) on the same dasy. The other way is to try to find in a few appointments in the day/week or how ever long you are going to stay. This is only my opinion and as I am SO far away myself (even further than Greece to UK) and do not have any doctors myself to help in my quest for help, information, management or anything the best I can do is offer to you my opinion (or what I would do if it was ME who had the possible opportunity to undertake this medical trek).

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 1. I am preparing my medical history and I was thinking: what if I sent it to the doctors before I decide which one I will see (so that he/she could decide if he/she will see me and be prepared for me)? If you wish Tia I could offer you a blanked out copy of my medical history (What I carry and email/send to my doctors and to the ER and for ambulances etc). If you have a look at the email I just posted to you about this, it shows you that I recommend that you contact them (ALL of the doctors long before going to see who will take you on). 2. How should a medical history be? I got the bare bones of how to make my Medical history from http://www.ehlers-danlos.org/Info%20Sheets/medical_history.htm and then added and removed things that I thought were related to me and MY condition etc. 3. What should it include and what should it not? If you email me on Shazzinoz@... I will send you a copy of my medical history (with my PRIVATE stuff removed).

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I think that UK has so many doc's is because someone there had an interest (in the medical profession) and decided to research it and then others took this on as well, it could be that it all started from one patient or family or that the person had a friend or family member as a child or adult who had EDS and this got them interested enough to decide to research and specialise in it, you never know. You must remember that in comparison to a lot of places Australai is SMALL (While Greece is smaller Australia has only 20,000,000) and a LOT of Australia is uninhabited (most people live in bands around the coasts of Australia and inland for a bit), I actually live in Canberra which while it is the political and stated Capital of Australia, Sydney and Melbourne etc seem to have better specialists but even there I have had NO luck, I even saw the guy who was supposed to be the top connective tissue displasia doctor in Australia and found him rude, arrogant and totally UN informed (he told me as my hands didn't flop back and sit against my forearms (Unassisted) then I wasn't hypermobile ENOUGH (he did say I was slightly hypermobile or at the upper limits of normal in my thumbs and trunk) and that I must be hypermobile and have my other EDS symptoms as I must have an Autuoimmune disease (strictly because my Mum had a couple) and I have recently had this rulled OUT by another so called specialist who said it was A hypermobility syndrome (she didn't acutally say HMS just that it was one of the many hypermobility sundromes and she (a Rheumatologist) wasn't in the SLIGHTEST interested in helping me or even in looking at me really) and NEVER wants to see me again.
