This is a primarily telemedicine clinic. There are some in-person options at our clinic in Redmond, WA.

The EDS Clinic treats all of you at ever visit: hEDS/HSD, POTS, MCAS, and the related disorders. We recognize that all of these issues overlap and we cannot treat each in pure isolation. Your physical and mental health suffer together. We have hope that they can improve!

Our founder and CEO Rebecca Mass-Krajewski (she/her) ARNP-BC has been honing her skills for years. She is a "professional patient" with Hypermobile EDS (hEDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia, Ankylosing Spondylitis, and other related issues.  

There was no one to help her when she was diagnosed with hEDS so she became the person she needed. As a complicated patient and a health care provider she acquired specific knowledge through years of research, medical courses, patient interactions. She continually expands this knowledge with . 

She wanted to be a detective but pivoted into health care in college! Nowadays she finds that these skill sets go together extremely well.  Read her full story HERE. She is growing a team of professional zebras who understand your health and life, and also have specialized knowledge in Hypermobility and the related disorders. 

She goes by simply "Rebecca" because she prefers it! 

If you are not yet diagnosed with Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, EDS, POTS, or MCAS but think you have them we gather what you have already done, investigate any remaining areas, diagnoses and do the ongoing management. 

If you are already diagnosed with Hypermobility but think you have EDS we can determine the difference, order any tests or images needed, and resolve all the questions in your head.  

If you already have diagnoses of EDS, POTS, MCAS or the other related disorders we do complex chronic medication and intervention management.  

You do not need to be diagnosed. We can work toward diagnosis with you. 

We are a great starting point for anyone who has deep-dove the internet after a physical therapist or specialist commented that their injuries could be related to hypermobility. We do not belittle your online research here.  

We will see you for Hypermobility, Joint Spectrum Disorder, Ehlers Danlos, and everything in-between. There is huge overlap in complexity with these diagnoses and none can be looked at strictly in isolation. 

You do not need a referral from your specialist or PCP. We already believe you.

We know you want to feel better but it is hard when no one seems to believe you or understand your bendy body. 

We complete expert results-oriented evaluation and treatment of hypermobility and the associated disorders WHILE working toward hEDS/JHS diagnosis. A true diagnosis involves in depth labs, images, and genetic testing. EDS exists on a spectrum and has substantial overlap with other rare diagnoses. This is why it is a diagnosis of exclusion. 

We feel hEDS is a 1 in 250-500 person diagnosis (not 1 in 5000 as internet searches say). While the diagnosis checklist for hEDS appears simple, Criterion 3 (see attached) requires investigation as there are many similar appearing zebra diagnoses. 

1.  Standard Clinic Visit:

These are standard clinic visits over telemedicine tailored to your needs. There is prior paperwork, records gathering by you, in-depth history taking, and comprehensive plan for next steps for investigation and improvement. We address all your concerns at the visit. Appointments are booked HERE.

2.  Diagnosed-in-a-Day

If you want a diagnosis but no one will diagnose you, this appointment is for you. However, we go beyond the hEDS diagnosis. We will explore if you also have POTS, MCAS, or an autoimmune disorder. If needed we will order genetic testing to rule out other forms of EDS. We do all of this in one day. This day is about you. Your bendy body, weird symptoms, and out of context reactions to injuries or life might be hEDS. Allow us to validate you, decrease the gaslighting, and give you a multifaceted plan for improvement.

3.  Health Mentoring for Chronic Illness. 

This is our newest program and will begin fall-2023. It is intimate live weekly mentoring for hypermobility, hEDS, POTS, MCAS. The goal is for you to be able to return to your PCP, be listened to, be believed, and create plans to bring decrease in symptoms. Everyone in the program has similar health issues and questions. You are not alone. Social media helps with connecting however most are rants or vents. This community will lift you up! HERE is the waitlist.

4.  Our Newsletter

This is a newsletter that summarizes up-to-date information on these rare invisible illnesses. Signup HERE to have it sent to your email.

5.  VIP Intensive Program:

This is a life transformation over 60 days with in-depth functional medicine lab investigation to assess inflammation, oxidative stress, methylation issues, mitochondrial dysfunction, omega imbalances, and neurotransmitter abnormalities.

You are someone who likes all the information, to understand why you, what is off, and what can be done about it. You have never had testing or direct provider access like this like this!

The entire time you Voxer (secure walkie talkie) with our team directly with your questions. The tests direct care to get the best individualized results for your body. We make a highly individualized plan from your life history, personal assessment and tests. The result is more energy, less body pain, increased enjoyment of every day, and long desired answers! HERE is the application for the VIP program. There are extremely limited spots. This program is for someone who has sufficient finances and wants frequent 1:1 care to speed up improvement and answers.

6.  Provide Care for Rare Invisible Illness:

If what you read here resonates and you are a prescribing provider (NP, PA, ND, FM, MD, DO) please get in touch HERE so we can grow a nationwide network of expert providers.

Telemedicine means in any state we have a license in we can see you virtually for a visit. Currently these are in WA state and Nevada, with Oregon pending. You have to physically be in a state where our providers are licensed for us to be your provider. Government rules, not ours.

We are working to expand The EDS Clinic to other states. If you are a licensed provider who would like to work in hEDS, POTS, MCAS, please email us at [email protected]!

We do not directly bill insurance. All appointments are paid upfront at the time of booking. HSA funds can be used. Payment plans are available.

There is potential for reimbursement through insurance after you submit the bill to them.

We provide Superbills which are detailed receipts with CPT and ICD10 codes which can be used to obtain reimbursement from commercial insurance companies. We recognize and apologize for how this impacts you.

To our knowledge, there is no qualified provider for your medically necessary services in most health insurance networks. This is a deficiency of their network which means insurance has an obligation to consider reimbursement for out-of-network provider cost. This is true almost nationwide with hEDS. If we are able to take insurance in the future it will be updated here on the website.

Appointment fees are based on duration of your appointment.

There are no additional fees for visits.

Outside of visits:

-Review prior paperwork (30-90 minutes)

-Create a lengthy typed plan for you with links to resources (6090 minutes)

-Obtain outside consultations on results from Functional Medicine testing (30-90 minutes)

- Complete referrals and laboratories

This equates to a 90 minute visit to 150 minutes - 240 minutes of time spent on your health.

Our patients leave visits feeling hopeful and know that they have new options for improvement.

*Consults are to see if our services are a good fit for your needs. This occurs prior to a New Patient Visit. You can be located anywhere. To become a patient you must be located or able to travel to a state we are licensed in.

It is a virtual visit over video for Hypermobility/EDS. Simple as that! For most Hypermobile/ EDS appointments there is no need to prove yourself by having pain triggered by a physical assessment. We are successful at Beighton scoring over video, as well as evaluating the many other areas that lead to formal hEDS diagnosis. While can be validating to be seen in-person it is not critical. Other specialties like Spine, it is important to be seen in-person.

Prior to your appointment you gather records to upload to our system (Optimantra). You are sent a detailed list when your appointment is booked. All your records are reviewed prior to your appointment. Pre-appointment paperwork includes a detailed intake for these specific overlapping health concerns, more specific than any you have done prior.

During your appointment you have time to tell your whole story, review all your symptoms, get answers, and ask more questions. After your appointment you get a written plan of recommendations for each area, as well as orders, referrals, medications or supplements. We often hear that in one visit patients get more clarity, information, and hope than in numerous years seeing non-hypermobility experts.

To work with us it is a requirement that you have a primary care provider (PCP) and see them yearly in order for us to care for your Hypermobile EDS and associated issues. This also helps with meeting certain medication prescribing needs.

We cannot see you for acute issues (like UTI, sinus infection, new chest pain) or long-standing issues (like Hashimoto's hypothyroid monitoring or diabetes) or do any assessment to determine if you need to go to ER or Urgent Care. This requires a PCP. We work with you and them. 

Records gathering tips:

- Most of the large hospital organizations in WA use MyChart/Epic Electronic Medical Record. MyChart has all labs and clinic notes easily downloadable through your MyChart login.

- If you are gathering records from multiple systems then Sync.MD is helpful for personal medical record requests. It is both a mobile app & a website.

- Many medical groups in the WA (such as Evergreen & Swedish) endorse it and are already connected to their platform.

- Sync.MD lets you request records (for a small fee of about $5) and provides the clinic with 2 methods to share your records: upload online or via fax. We recommend upload online as you get copy.

- It is very helpful in getting records from places such as Neuro Assoc of WA (Dr. Armitano) or small clinics which are only set up to fax or print+mail your records.

If you have a restrictive schedule please email or text so we can arrange a time that works for you. We know 9-5 does not work for everyone.

Clients who see and feel improvement working with us are not limited to standard healthcare options. They have the finances to support non-traditional options. They are able to follow through on plans that are finetuned to their health history and current symptoms. The clients we see improve are able to follow-up regularly, obtain necessary tests, and trial new supplements.  

Supplements are used to decrease inflammation, treat a root cause of pain, and balance vitamin levels. Functional medicine testing is often used to determine the root source of an issue or decrease inflammatory pain.  

New patient visits are highly validating. However, we shine in follow-up visits as complex chronic diseases improve most with adjusting plans and accountability. In one visit we give hope and direction. In one year, you will see a transformation with less body pain and less fatigue! 

We know that with Hypermobility and EDS clients go through patterns of intensely working on health issues, getting demoralized, then trying again. While we do not have a magical pill for boundaries or mindset, we coach you toward making decisions that improve your health 

HERE is Rebecca's story. This is vulnerable for her. In being open about it highlights how those of us with Hypermobility and EDS can suffer, while looking healthy and being resilient!

Rebecca Mass-Krajewski (she/her) ARNP-BC is a Hypermobility & Ehlers Danlos expert. She acquired specific knowledge because there was no one to guide her on her own journey. She is a "professional patient" with Hypermobile EDS, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia, and Ankylosing Spondylitis. 

Rebecca Mass-Krajewski is an ARNP-BC which means "Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (who is) Board Certified."  She is not a MD, DO, or ND, nor does she imply she is. Instead of returning for another masters, or doctorate she chose to study Functional Medicine. The goal of Functional Medicine is to get at the root cause, and this is critically important with chronic illness.

She is a health detective who prides herself on taking the disjointed pieces of health information and creating the true picture. This removes obstacles to high quality care and enables transformations that reduce chronic pain and decrease fatigue. She strongly feels that it does not have to be so hard or lonely being a complicated patient. Too many hypermobile people are gaslit by health care. 

HERE are Rebecca's extensive qualifications.

We are currently interviewing other providers to join The EDS Clinic Team.

Rebecca Mass-Krajewski is an ARNP-BC. This means "Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (who is) Board Certified."

She is not a MD, DO, or ND, nor does she imply she is. Instead of returning for another masters, or doctorate she chose to study Functional Medicine. The goal of Functional Medicine is to get at the root cause. This is particularly important with hEDS and the related disorders!

Nurse practitioners (NPs) start out as Registered Nurses (RNs). RNs provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients and the public about various health conditions. They provide educational advice and emotional support to patients and their families. RNs can go back for a masters or doctoral degree in nursing. They pick their specialty when they start, whereas MDs pick a few years in. 

NPs are trained to assess patient needs, order and interpret diagnostic and laboratory tests, diagnose disease, formulate and prescribe treatment plans. NPs are known for having the brain of a doctor with the empathetic heart of a nurse. Most NPs start in family practice. They often move in to specialty practice once they find their passion (like Rebecca).

A primary difference between physicians and NPs is that all doctors can prescribe medication to patients as a part of their duties. NPs prescribe medicine, but in some states, they must be “overseen” by a MD to prescribe. This looks like the MD looking over their charts for about an hour every few months or discussion/consults when needed.

In 2022 in the United States 25 states have fully independent practice for NPs.

The main difference Rebecca's patients tell her is that she explains the why of what they experience as well as how medication or procedure might help.

Rebecca is not for everyone. She works alongside your other providers but is not the only provider on your team.

Our mission at The EDS Clinic is to provide results-oriented expertise for the diagnosis and treatment of hypermobility, hEDS & the related disorders to enable a total body transformation with less body pain and less fatigue.

Our vision is to create a network of providers in the United States and abroad, trained in Rebecca Mass-Krajewski's ARNP-BC framework, to ensure all people suffering from these overlapping, complex, and chronic disorders have expert providers, evidence-based answers, and hope for feeling better.

We value: Self-trust, Health, Rest, Connecting, Empathy, and Knowledge.

We feel strongly that love is love, science is real, black (brown & all melanated) lives matter, trans rights are human rights, neurodiversity is beautiful, and women's rights are tied up in all of our own liberation. 

HERE are our small business pledges and commitments to anti-racism, inclusivity, and empathy.

For transparency HERE are the complete clinic policies and other important information.
