Just a quick post to put the above link which I found via a link in a blog but I don't think I have to worry about referencing it as it is a newspaper article therefore publicly available. I am so rubbish at links so it may or may not work.
The references in the article may be to EDS Vascular Type as it says life threatening. Hypermobility Type EDS is painful but not thought to be life threatening as far as I am aware. The topic however is close to my heart, particularly the references to disabled parking permits. It seems though in the USA surgery is a more favoured option?
note: I have edited this post slightly as I wrote it in a hurry and felt it was a little brusque which was not my intention.
