Who's behind this

I'm Ray. I'm a zebra too.

Growing up, every symptom got its own doctor. GI for my stomach, cardiology for my heart, ortho for my joints, ENT for the rest. Nobody connected the dots until I was diagnosed with classical EDS at 15.

Today I travel, fish, and hunt. I still have hard days. Getting organized and understanding my body changed how I live with EDS, and I built The Zebra Guide so you don't spend a decade figuring it out alone.

Doctors learn "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." People with EDS are the zebras.
