  <title>EDS Ehlers Danlos Syndrome</title>
  <description>On this week's show we are speaking with Kristine Hoestermann, the founder of &amp;quot;FindYourRare&amp;quot; and she will be explaining how she was diagnosed with HEDS and where that diagnosis took her!  Heeeeere's Kristine! &amp;amp;nbsp; Allow me to introduce myself🦓My name is Kristine (kk). I am the CEO of RARE.™ A brand that was born from my own frustrations following the onset of my symptoms in 2016. It never occurred to me I could wake up sick and never get better. That I would lose everything I knew without noticing. In the beginning of getting sick I experienced extreme isolation. I felt like I didn’t fit in anywhere. Among symptoms that have yet to have to be attributed to a known disease🧬I have been diagnosed with EDS , POTS, and Autoimmune Small Fiber Neuropathy Secondary to Unknown Connective Tissue Disease 🆗 That feels like a lot right? but I didn’t look sick and that made it really hard for not only me to accept but also the world around me 🌍 &amp;amp;nbsp; I created RARE.™ as a safe space for myself until I realized so many other rare disease fighters, chronic illness, chronic pain, invisible disease or any human needed that same thing. So I got to work and here we are. Together we can start to bridge the gap 🚧 &amp;amp;nbsp; 🆗More about the RARE. Girl behind the brand;&amp;amp;nbsp; 🥄I &amp;amp;nbsp;am a fierce lover of Grey’s Anatomy. Meredith Grey is my person. 🥄You can be sure that I’ll be either listening to Taylor Swift or True Crime.&amp;amp;nbsp; 🥄My favorite book is a Thesaurus 🥄I am a loyal Ticondaroga Pencil user 🥄I love to create &amp;amp;amp; I am a huge nerd &amp;amp;nbsp;🥄My Wardrobe can easily be mistaken for your grandmas &amp;amp;amp; I love it &amp;amp;nbsp; Change Starts Here.
