Debbie Vaughan, sharing Josh Doss’s story with VEDS
Today we will be hearing from Debbie Vaughan about her experience with Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (VEDS) and her late husband, Josh’s, story with VEDS. Josh passed away not long after their son was born. Near the end of the interview, we’ll also hear how she’s seen things change for people with VEDS in the last 27 years.
In the episode, we mentioned Ehlers-Danlos Type 6, which was misquoted as periodontal EDS. However, this is now known as kyphoscoliotic EDS.
