Bad tremor and balance issues may not be EDS. There is a saying called Hickham's dictum: A patient can have as many diseases as they damn well please.

Can you see another doctor and rather than asking for a referral to an EDS specialist just present the symptoms? You could also talk to the practice manager and if that doesn't help you can contact your local PALS office

I hope you can find someone to listen to you soon.
