EDS needs to be known like MS and ALS

Very good documentary on what it takes to finally get a diagnosis of EDS. My husband has a similar story and it's been 10 years since diagnosed. He lives in constant pain and has many, many health issues and hence is disabled. His most recent development on top of EDS and Neurocardiogenic Syncope is Sarcoidosis which is an auto-immune lung disease. But he is unbreakable like the movie.

This documentary will undoubtably help those who are seeking answers to their own medical mysteries but is also a good way to educate family and friends of those who receive an EDS diagnosis. I stumbled across on youtube but I hope it gets added to something like Netflix.

A must watch for all people!!

This is an incredibly informative documentary. It was very well put-together, and it is both emotionally evoking and thought provoking. Now I better understand the seriousness of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and I commend people like Mitch for remaining strong throughout all these years. I'm super glad he's still with us, too. Given how invisible this incredibly challenging disease is, more people absolutely need to watch this documentary and spread awareness of it, so that more people suffering from this disease can find support and treatment for it. Send the video to everyone you know, it only takes roughly 40 minutes to learn how to better support our fellow brothers and sisters suffering from EDS.

Exceptional EDS Documentary!

I've read about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome before, but did not know how profoundly it can affect someone's life with the excruciating pain that it causes. Watching this helped me understand that. It is a well made film that interviews Mitch's close family members and how they all came to learn about EDS while finding ways to support him.

Dare to care?

The Bend or Break documentary is widely considered "required material" for those recently diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (along with their caregivers, friends, and family). It follows the life and loved ones of Mitch Martow, a now young-man diagnosed with EDS after years of medical gaslighting, medical narcissism, and just plain old incompetence and unknowing.

No one expects all medical professionals to know about all conditions. But we should be able to expect compassion, diligence, and dignity - 100% of the time. Sadly, the oft-ubiquitous experience of EDS patients being mistreated, disbelieved, and misdiagnosed, remains the norm.

Fantastic educational resource about EDS

I am a psychology professor and an EDS researcher. Patients' lived experiences are an important piece of the puzzle when trying to understand the impact a rare condition like this can have on families affected by EDS; this film does just that. Film is a powerful way to spread awareness about a disorder that is frequently stigmatized. Even if you don't have a personal connection to EDS, this piece will evoke strong emotions and hopefully that will motivate others to spread the word, or even get involved with the cause more directly. I have committed to using this film indefinitely in my psychology courses moving forward to enhance lessons about chronic illness.
