In today’s episode, we’re going to talk to Tyler Farley, who was diagnosed with VEDS following a bowel perforation when he was 17. The VEDS diagnosis explained many things for Tyler, including the early death of his father, but also was a really challenging diagnosis to get when he was about to go into college.

Patrick was diagnosed with Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (VEDS) earlier this year by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) at 54 years of age following whole exam sequencing. With a history of bowel complications and perforations, as well as two other rare conditions, Patrick was grateful to be welcomed by the VEDS community when he was diagnosed. He talks openly about his medical history and family medical history, while also discussing how he’s handled the diagnosis in the last few months and his search for a new normal.

Resources Patrick talks about in this episode are the VEDS support groups through TheVEDSMovement.org, as well as the VEDS Facebook group.
