I looked up Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I was surprised to see a connection between hypermobile joints and tissue that won't heal. It makes sense. I have hypermobile joints so I wonder if that's linked to my weak intestinal tissues? Sounds like it could be. I have been taking L-Glutamine to help the intestinal issues and hydrolyzed collagen to help with the connective tissue issues. It seems like I have noticed things healing faster since I started with the L-Glutamine. Not such a direct connection between anything and the collagen, but I think these things are more about long term maintenance and not a magical cure. Who knows. They might be bad for me! I hope not.
Eric and Sharon, I'm sorry about the crap you have had to deal with. I have experienced some of that but not to the degree you describe. Being gaslit just sucks.
