We were also able to share all of the information and support EDS UK provides to its patients and to health professionals across the four nations. A well-received session and an amazing opportunity to raise awareness with Welsh rheumatologists!

We were very fortunate today to be able to take part in the Welsh rheumatologists academic meeting where Dr. Kazkaz represented EDS UK in delivering some training to 27 Welsh rheumatologists on recognising the signs of #EhlersDanlossyndrome and #hypermobilityspectrumdisorders.

The misconception that hEDS and HSD are rare means that the government overlooks this condition. It's wrong and unjust. This petition plays a crucial role in enabling a debate which will challenge current attitudes toward EDS and HSD. @bbchealth @TheEDSociety @Bannatyne
#EnoughIsEnough campaign update! To date over 15,000 people have come together to join our campaign. Whether that’s through signing our petitions, creating and sharing their personalised social media graphic or writing to their MP. ehlers-danlos.org/enough/

On Saturday it's the NHS 75th birthday celebration. Please wear something blue in support but also how about an additional dash of yellow? The Bradford Ukrainian Club will also be with us as it's the 500th day of the Putin's invasion of Ukraine so come along and give generously

Today there are 13,400 signatures on the petition created by EDS UK. Getting to 100,000 signatures by November seems impossible unless something changes. Please sign and share. It HAS to get better. @TheEDSociety @Ehlersdanlos @LaraBloom

Just 18 days left until my #BHF #L2B ride for @ehlersdanlosUK! With miles under my belt and determination in my heart, there's no hill too high or path too tough. Grateful for the journey, and even more so for the cause. Here's to tenacity, and #EDS awareness! 🚴‍♂️💪 #RideLondon
