Hi everyone, l have just been confirmed with Vascular Elhers Danlos syndrome and I'm seeing my genetics consultant for the first time on Wednesday. As l am all new to this, l wonder if anyone could advice me on relevant questions to ask regarding future care. Thanks

Ask them to refer you for & request ongoing, regular cardiovascular tests such as heart Echo, ECG, etc.

I'd also advise you, based on my experience, to learn as much as you can about your condition & be aware of your own body.

Not what you're looking for?
