Ehlers-Danlos syndrome affects connective tissue, primarily the skin, joints and blood vessel walls.
Symptoms include overly flexible joints that can dislocate, and skin that's translucent, elastic and bruises easily. In some cases, there may be dilation and even rupture of major blood vessels.
Treatment helps manage symptoms and monitor for complications. Options include drugs, physiotherapy and sometimes surgery.

Fui diagnosticada cm SED hipermóvel no ano passado! Meu histórico, muitas fraturas no pé esquerdo, quatro costelas e clavícula! Tenho 55 anos e sequer tinha ouvido falar nessa síndrome! Fui diagnosticada por um reumatologista de São Paulo. Sempre tive muitas características da SED, porém, mesmo passando por mais de trinta ortopedistas, apenas um único médico na primeira consulta comentou no exame clínico sobre a síndrome e ele estava …Read more

Hi! Welcome! I am 66 so, we are in the same demographic. I am a grandma, too. I was dx after daughter. Then we found out my first cousin also has EDS-Classic and is a medical doc, too. So, we have exchanged stories and medical experiences. It explains a lot for me too. I also have Mast Cell Activation and Dystonia, among other things. It had been hard to find Docs who know enough to diagnose or help but, I have formed a little 'team' and I hav…Read more

Thanks for your reply.. no I live in Northern Calif. I was diagnosed by pediatric geneticist . We all went there together with my granddaughter when she was ten. She had been seen by the same dr as a newborn so time and space was in our favor.
Two of my grandchildren are very affected. The doctor I have seen for years has done all the right things to care for me all these years, even without a Dx.
At this point in my life, I have had both hips r…Read more

Thanks for the follow-up. I went to see a Pediatric Geneticist, too. She helped me sort out more than the EDS-Classic. My husband and I both have rare ectodermal dysplasia genes and passed them along to our daughter, unfortunately. That has made her diagnosis more tricky. She is missing 9 teeth and has to have so much dental work..I never even had to were braces but, I am missing 6 teeth. My docs haven't really helped me much but, I do okay on …Read more

Good to know. 👍Hi!😊 This week I am finally starting to feel better after a forthnight of being low on energy and with that classical "influensa-like" EDS-ht feel. 24/7.

Hello from Washington, DC! I never made it to Norway but, I did try to get there a long time ago! However,
I just discovered the 25x Norwegian ancestry in one of my maternal lines..I'm apparently a direct descendant of the Norwegian kings of Dublin. Before this, I had a genetic test that told me the most people sharing my genes live in Norway but, I didn't know how. Do you have a large population of EDS patients there? Just wondering! - Maux -

Hello "Fellow Norwegian"" 🙂
It is hard to say if there are lot of patiens with EDS here, cause as good and wonderful as the norwegian health care is compare to everywhere else ( it is mostly free forexample), Doctors here DO NOT understand EDS-ht, I am sad to say. So it must be many, many people who is misdiagnosed/underdiagnosed.
I got diagnosed at 27, I am now 41. And the first one who diagnosed me was a kiropractor. She saw it right awa…Read more

Hi Noemi.
Here in Norway we are also way behind. I always get depressed after reading at norwegian sites. They only say we are really bendy, and we need to excersise. And sometimes we are in a little pain. They don't talk about adrenaline, Potus, brain dog, the severity in the pain and so on. So I am also glad to have find this page. 😊👍
