“No other disease in the history of modern medicine, has been neglected in such a way as Ehlers Danlos Syndromes” Dr. Rodney Graham. There is a major lack in knowledge of this disorder among medical professionals. Patients often know much more about their disorder than their physicians and surgeons do. This is scary for the patient and often times dangerous as life threatening complications are overlooked due to a person’s appearance or age.
So, what is EDS? EDS is a heritable Connective Tissue Disorder that mutates our collagen and therefor has potential ramifications on all systems of the body. With the addition of Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder in May 2017 it is estimated that 1-500, some doctors say 1-100, people will be affected by either EDS or HSD. Some of the most common complications of this disorder are listed below, but certainly not limited to.
- Fibromyalgia
- Hypermobility
- Early onset arthritis
- Poor balance/ proprioception
- Chronic subluxations and dislocations
- Food allergies
- Ataxia
- Mast Cell Activation Disorder
- Easily bruised
- POTS/Dysautonomia
- Chiari Brain Malformation
- Sleep disorders
Chronic Pain Partners offers information and support for over 100 EDS support groups across the globe. We host live webinars every month with EDS experts and post them to our site. We are currently raising funds for our FREE Continuing Medical Education (CME) courses being developed for physicians. We hope to launch September 2017.
