Hello everyone, I'm looking to get a Chicagoland group going, or find one to join if there is one. I have a few contacts already. Anyone who would be interested please contact me.

Where did you go to get diagnosed...? It took a trip to Mayo Clinic to finally figure this mystery out!

I googled EDNF (the US EDS group) and Chicago and found the chapter chair? lead?

but I think if anyone wants to contact it should be done through the EDNF website

I also found this MD

Yay! I can post now...has there been any groups getting together yet in the Chicago area? I am totally ready to meet other EDSers face-to-face to discuss what has worked and not worked for all of us. I'd also like to think that it could be beneficial mentally...I haven't met with a single person (clinical or non-clinical) that understands what I'm going through and I'm turning into an emotional wreck. I promise to be normal when we meet, though lol!

I'd like to get all of our head together with a list of doctors in the area that were good to work with and which ones weren't...especially when it pertains to pain control and surgeries. I think it's important for other people in the area who may be going through the same thing.

Anyone? Buehler?

I would like to meet some people with EDS. My daughter (15) is really having a hard time functioning right now and I would like to talk to others about how to help her. I am in the NW suburbs.
