I just finished reading The Notebook, by Roland Allen (@zibaldoni.bsky.social).
It’s written for us who love notebooks and can’t resist buying new ones even if we haven’t open the last one. This incredibly fun, insightful, and engaging book offers the validation we need to continue buying them.

OK I'm tentatively excited because researchers might have found a biomarker for hEDS/HSD
It's also a blood test rather than a genetic test. (They looked for pieces of broken down collagen etc in the blood, and found one that is unique to HSD/hEDS)
