Targeted towards a specific subset of bendy bondies, but great info for ALL bendies.

Episode 35 with Dr Maitland deserves 10 stars. If you want to learn about mast cell disorders, listen to that episode. Another doctor on a different podcast stated that Mast Cell Activation Syndrome is so prevalent in hypermobile people that he is more surprised when he meets a hypermobile patient that DOESN’T have MCAS than when he meets those that do. It is tragic how few doctors can recognize mast cell disorders, so for this information alone, this podcast is a treasure. It helps us bendies be better educated and therefore be “better” consumers of the healthcare system. Sometimes that means having to look hard for the right doctors, or maybe it means educating our own current doctors when they are willing to learn. The podcast, especially given that it is led by a doctor and then often interviews doctors - is a solid part of the education we need. Recommend!
