This group is for anyone with EDS or who knows someone with EDS. This group if for all types of EDS. I have Type III (hypermobility). I could not find a support group in the Bay Area, so I thought I'd start one. It only takes 2 to be a group. Once we have a few memebers we can set up more regular meetings. For now, I'll set one up at a local coffee spot in San Carlos just so we have a place to start. I want to set up a regular meeting for discussions, venting, support, information, etc. Just a place to go to feel like you are not alone with EDS. I will also plan outings and events that are easily accessable for people with EDS. So... no hiking, etc. We can decide as a group what would be fun. I know there will be some who cannot attend certain types of outings such as wine tasting (you could be a designated driver though). We will come up with a variety of things to do to get ourselves out of the house and back into socializing and enjoying the company of others. Parents with EDS kids are welcome. The first few meetings we may ask that you not bring kids under 12 or 13 as I don't know where the conversation will go. We can also plan meetings for the kids and parents. It's important to remember you are not alone in this. There may not be many of us, but I'm sure there are enough to support this group. Together we are better!
