In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Cohen Solomon, board-certified pediatrician, educator, and patient living with hEDS and dysautonomia. We discuss the overlap between POTS, EDS, chronic pain, fatigue, GI symptoms, and why so many patients struggle to find answers. We also talk about recognizing early signs of hypermobility, building the right healthcare team, advocating for yourself, and why validation matters when living with a complex chronic illness. Whether you're a patient, parent, or healthcare provider, this episode offers practical insights and hope for navigating the journey.
