I don't understand why nobody ever told me about these before. For 35 years I never heard of a finger splint, saw it on another blog about EDS. Probably would have been helpful all this time. Now I have plastic ones, not so comfy.

I just got my silver splints today. They gave me swan neck splints for my thumbs & pinkies. I think the boutonniere ones would work much better for my pinkies though. It doesn't quite hit my DIP joint, like the plastic ones barely did.
It was rather easy to get them approved, which amazes me since my insurance has not been helpful.
I also got accepted for genetic testing. I wrote back about my denial letter, because it did not make sense. I got a call that I can then make an appointment. Yay! It won't be until October. I have to drive 5 hours, get a new referral (will expire by then), and hope my rheumatologist doesn't ruin it all for me.
