- Life Changing Podcast
In December 2024, I developed long COVID. Without knowing I had hEDS, I was facing the onset of symptoms completely alone (as a ‘fit and healthy’ 29 year old male I was dismissed by most doctors).
YouTube’s algorithm pointed me in your direction, and it’s the best things that has happened to me.
Over the past 18 months, my quality of life has improved significantly to the point where I’m now able to return to work as an Engineering Geologist here in Australia.
This podcast has been one of th... more

Apple Podcasts5Mrs KafoopsAustraliaa year ago - Huge Help
I’ve felt like a medical mystery for decades as I’ve had test after test and seen specialist after specialist. Then I was diagnosed with CRPS in 2017 and most doctors I see blame CRPS for anything they can’t explain. My GP has always had my back, and we’ve gone through it all together. Then recently she told me she’d been listening to this podcast, Bendy Bodies, and that I was the first person she thought of. She thinks I have EDS, MCAS, & POTS. Listening to your podcasts and your guests (like D... more
