Oh no!

[Katherine]

Ohh, i had something like that - i dont know if it was the same thing but when i had my mri a couple of months ago it wasnt there anymore :smile:
my cardiologist said its quite common

[ReineDeLaSeine14]

Katherine, how were you diagnosed with VEDS?

[Chiara]

ok, thank you so much ^.^

[Katherine]

i had a skin biopsy on the bottom of my back that got sent to belgium, took a good few months to get the results

[xxBrittany]

Ouch! From your back!? That's crazy!

[Katherine]

yer, it was either that or under my arm or on my thigh! it didnt hurt because they numbed it, i just had a hole about the size of a 5p coin..less than 1cm filled with this black stuff to help it heal. you can hardly see the scar

[xxBrittany]

ow ow ow ow ow.
that sounds severly painful.
my back is veryyyy tender.

[Katherine]

I was pleasently surprised at how painless it was. im glad i didnt have it under my arm tho imagine that! ouchy!

[xxBrittany]

Yeah!
For real.

I BET that hurt. That just sounds painful.

[Katherine]

of all the places i could have had it i think i chose the best one!

[xxBrittany]

I agree!
