If I could recommend anything about EDS, it would be this documentary. It may be 45 minutes long, but itās something for us that is everyday life. Highly recommend this

May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes Awareness Month. What are the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS)?ā
ā
The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of heritable connective tissue disorders that vary in how they affect the body and their genetic causes.ā š§¬ā
ā
ā Variants in the genes that determine how the body makes collagen and other proteins that work alongside collagen have been shown to cause EDS. ā
ā
At this time, genetic variants have been found in all types of EDS, with the exception of hypermobile EDS (hEDS).ā š¬ā
ā
Connective tissue is everywhere in the body. It provides support and structure to other tissues and organs, including bone, ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, the tissue that holds the gastrointestinal tract in place, etc. ā
ā
āļøā Signs and symptomsā
ā
Some certain signs and symptoms are common across all types of EDS. However, these can vary in severity between individuals, even with the same type of EDS. ā
ā
These include:ā
ā
ā¢ Joint hypermobilityā
ā¢ Joint instability with dislocations and/or subluxationsā
ā¢ Injury to connective tissues in and around jointsā
ā¢ Joint, muscle, and nerve painā
ā¢ Scoliosisā
ā¢ Herniasā
ā¢ Pelvic floor weakness and prolapseā
ā¢ Easy Bruisingā
ā¢ Stretchy skinā
ā¢ Fragile skinā
ā¢ Scarringā
ā¢ Slow or poor wound healingā
ā
In rarer genetically-defined types of EDS, there are specific concerns with certain tissues of the body that can present with complications such as:ā
ā
ā¢ Arterial/intestinal/uterine fragility or rupture (usuallyā
associated with vascular EDS (vEDS))ā
ā¢ Pneumothorax (collapsed lung)ā
ā¢ Severe dental and gum diseaseā
ā¢ Severe scarring of the cornea of the eyeā
ā
Across all the types of EDS, a number of conditions and symptoms are now also recognized as common. These include:ā
ā
ā¢ Fatigueā
ā¢ Autonomic dysfunction (such as fast heart rate and/or low blood pressure)ā
ā¢ Headachesā
ā¢ Gastrointestinal problemsā
ā¢ Anxiety disordersā
ā¢ Heavy and painful periods and bladder painā
ā¢ Allergies and intolerancesā
