Cancer Pain and Ehlers-Danlos Pain:

“At this point in time, I put EDS in the category of being in the top three or four most severe pain problems. A lot of people for example think that cancer pain is the worst of pain, but let me assure you that many EDS patients have pain far beyond any cancer patient I’ve ever seen. And so it’s one of the pain problems that is severe, has been very troublesome, many physicians are afraid of the disease and of the kind of the pain that EDS patients have.”
