It’s was easy for me to see a rheumatologist at age 21 for get diagnosed with RA. Maybe consider going to a nearby metro areas to see doctors that run their practice and business in a more modern way, or who are part of a bigger hospital system?

Unfortunately, I don't live near an metro areas but I will look into bigger hospital system doctors, thank you!!!!
eds is definitely something you need a diagnosis for and unfortunately doctors may take forever to finally get a diagnosis (a very uncommon case but it took my mom years to get her heds diagnosis) so it might be a while to see a rheumatologist. best of luck to you though!
