Dysautonomia can be a complication of connective tissue disorders, which I also have, and it complicates things quite a bit.

    I don’t have EDS, but I have Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, which was referred to as Benign Hypermobility Syndrome when I was diagnosed. I’ve had joint pain growing up, but the other nasty symptoms didn’t show up until I reached my twenties. There’s nothing benign about Hypermobility! Do yourself a favor to visit a rheumatologist if you have symptoms. They know how to do evaluate you through a combination of Beighton Score and medical history. Do visit a good physical therapist if you suffer from repeated injuries due to loose joints. Resting alone won’t help the injuries go away! You need to work on building muscle tones.

    I agree the a good physiotherapist is vital! About resting, it is so important to build muscle tone and what’s called ‘resting muscle tone’ because that’s what holds our bodies together. When you have an acute injury, like a sprain or a dislocation, it’s important to relocate the joint and immobilize the joint. BUT keep the rest of your body, active because deconditioning is our worst enemy.

    Finally! I've been waiting for a video on EDS for a long time. My daughters and I are in the process of being diagnosed with hEDS. I know that the more severe types are quite rare, but I don't believe that hEDS is rare at all, just rarely diagnosed. Very few doctors know enough about it(they say this themselves; this isn't me being disrespectful) to be confident in diagnosing it. In fact, most people who have hEDS(or any other type, really) know more about their condition than most doctors. And that is partly due to the fact that they get the brush off from so many doctors that they feel they have to figure out for themselves how to manage the condition and its many comorbidities.

    I have EDS. I was diagnosed at age 29, 10 years ago this past month, at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I had been a previous patient to U of MN hospital Care and flew to Mayo on advice from a rheumatologist. It was my last hope. After flying there(from California) in December with my best friend around the Polar Vortex time many years ago... My goodness. The lengths our families and we went through to help me get that diagnosis and so I wouldn't have to fight all of the battles alone. Getting support, even someone who believes you who you can talk to about this pain and heart problems, and terribleness is really helpful. I've been in more pain recently but not feeling up to going to a physical therapist and I know my body. Ery well from many years of physical therapy for all of the ballet injuries-thats one sport that has many hyper mobile people!. Even the bones are affected, it's quite intense. I feel validated just seeing and hearing you also learn about this genetic condition us Zebras share! I'm so excited to watch these episodes! I've shared these on Facebook! Thanks for putting this out there, Jeannie and Bob & Brad!

    I do have a Correction/Adjustment, for the American audience: More and more, Geneticists are refusing referrals that might be for Hypermobile EDS, because there are no associated genes to test for currently (this might change in a few months). They are instead referring back to primary care for evaluation via Beighton and Brighton. So it's worth trying with your general practitioner first.

    It helps that I go to a Residency/Teaching practice. The new doctors are more likely to have a baseline idea of what it is, and are generally more open to curious cases and learning from/with patients. I also suggest finding a DO over an MD. They have better awareness of the whole of our bodies, I find. And even more likely to know EDS from their focused education.

    Thank you for spreading awareness of hEDS. I was diagnosed with hEDS last year after over 30 years of symptoms. Doctors need to become aware of this condition as I used to be a biomedical scientist and struggled to get diagnosed even though my identical twin sister was diagnosed before me! The doctors refused to believe she was diagnosed so I printed our her diagnoses letters (she had received an hEDS diagnosis from two doctors - Dr. Matthias and Professor Rodney Grahame) and took them to the hypermobility clinic in London where I was diagnosed by Dr. Mittal. It was such a relief to finally understand what was happening and why I have so much chronic pain. It was also so very validating. Doctors need to learn to have more empathy and compassion and need to learn about the ehlers danlos syndromes. Thanks again for spreading awareness! Xxx

    Thank you so much for having someone come on to discuss EDS! Not enough people are knowledgable about it and is said to be very underdiagnosed. I got diagnosed w/hEDS in 2020 and prior to that, physical therapists and other doctors all thought I was just being dramatic or a big baby. Having my first knee surgery finally in August for bilateral running injuries I developed in 2018 and never went away no matter what - apparently my patella is subluxating in and out of place and can't be fixed with PT, injections, medications etc (I tried so hard for so many years and hope this will help resolve things). One thing to mention, is that EDS commonly causes POTS and exercise is very important for people with that. Since I injured my knees I basically couldn't do any cardio anymore and cardio really is what you need to help POTS. It's a struggle, but wanted to mention this just in case it is useful.

    I've always been hyperflexible.. used to be referred to as double jointed obviously no such thing. I'm 58 and up until 6 months ago I could easily scratch the whole of my own back or apply my own back suncream. But now my arms are extremely stiff and painful (possibly polymyaglia rheumatica .. have you got videos about this) I have chronic pain, m.e, FM IBS endocrine disorders. I have very soft skin and until recently looked younger than my years. Sleeping with 20 strategically placed pillows is my norm to reduce pain in my joints. I may push to see a specialist as pain is currently off of the scale. I'm in UK, where getting a diagnosis or being heard by medical people seems difficult ( understatement). so I avoid the battle. I haven't got the energy to waste. I will watch more of Jeanie's work. Thanku she was excellent 😊 .

    @@BobandBrad Jeannie is awesome and gives so much time to us Zebras. She is equally qualified to talk about Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) as in layman’s terms it is very, very similar to hEDS, in fact because of the overlapping nature between the two conditions it is said to be almost indistinguishable and most if not all EDS organisations now quote hEDS/HSD because of that. Those diagnosed with HSD can be anywhere along the spectrum. I believe the name of HSD is being looked at again as it makes things far too confusing for everyone to understand the differences with hEDS. I have been diagnosed with HSD but always quote hEDS when talking to medical people as hardly anyone has heard of HSD x

    My HEDS was at it's worst during my pregnancies. I had sooooooo much widespread pain, headaches and my shoulders dislocating daily (whereas in my youth it was on ocassion), jaw dislocating, teeth were loose, neck and back going out of line, premature labor, pubic bone split during delivery, and sacro-ilieac joint dislocated. NONE of my doctors picked up on it. Fast forward 20 years, and I'm now in my late 50s and my orthopedic says, "Do you frequently dislocate your shoulders? This is the 3rd time this has happened since you have been here." I said, "My whole life this has happened. It wakes me up from a sound sleep." She ran the HEDS test on me and said she thought I had Ehler's Danlos. The Physical Therapist I was sent to agreed. I'm not bothering with the genetic testing until there's a marker for Hypermobile. I've also been diagnosed with Lymes Disease, Fibromyalgia, Epstein Barr, Lymes and Psoriatic Arthritis. I wonder if those diagnosises were inaccurate.

    I was another person who wasn't diagnosed until I was almost 35. By that point I'd already caused irreparable damage to my knees and shoulders, and my nervous system massively over-reacts to pain stimuli after having been in constant pain for the last 30 years. Of all people, the guy who finally figured it out was the neurologist my PCP sent me to to make sure my migraines weren't being caused by a tumor.

    @tomsale5142 what i know of: I've had two knee surgeries (plica removal and torn meniscus removal) because of hyperextension damage. I've subluxed joints so many times that I've built up damage from microtears creating scar tissue. I have arthritis everywhere, a herniated cervical disc, and a 1cm hole worn through the cartilage between my kneecap and femur. There seems to be no way to cure my shoulder impingements or the lack of space between my bones in my knees, hips and shoulders, so everything rubs and grinds. I had bone spurs at the base of two toes that damaged the flexor tendons and now can't bend those toes. The spurs formed because I was hyperextending that joint every time I took a step. Oh, and at the ripe old age of 35, I had osteopenia. 9 years later I'm sure that's moved up to osteoporosis.

    Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS are both comorbid with EDS so it can be possible to have all of the conditions. With EDS, you can look up the 2017 criteria for diagnosis for a start to check if you have it. Dysautonomia and Mast Cell Activation syndrome are also commonly comorbid with EDS.

Later that day I asked her father what was going on with her. He said she has EDS .... a disease that has attacked her collagen in her body... I told him about pycnogenol , a supplement made from pine bark extract... after his son's investigation ... he said the whole family should take it... The daughter took 100 muscle daily and within 1 month gained weight and her one remaining kidney started functioning again without dialysis... she recovered from EDS. The only contraindication is if you are taking blood thinners .... hope this helps someone...peace .

    It doesn't. Even if our collagen formation was increased, it would still be faulty collagen because the mutations cause the collagen to not work properly or not be properly made (there's several areas of research looking into the different mechanisms on this right now). So unfortunately supplements won't work because our body will just turn them into our non functioning collagen.

    Perhaps this is worth repeating: All EDS' have genetic marker. Only hEDS does not currently. Russell “Chip” Norris, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Regenerative Medicine and Cell Biology, and his team believe they have identified a gene mutation associated with hEDS. That's at the Norris Lab on the campus of the Medical University of South Carolina. I would link the article but KZread does not allow it. Do a search for "MUSC researchers announce gene mutation discovery associated with EDS".

    The Norris Lab at MUSC found a gene that was present in about 20 percent of the participants in their hEDS study and hope to find other genes underlying hEDS. The Norris Lab findings is being peer reviewed before announcing the gene variant that they discovered in 20% of their hEDS study participants. Also HATS (hereditary alpha tryptasemia syndrome) causes elevated tryptase levels which can cause hypermobile joints. Tryptase acts like a meat tenderizer according to Dr Theoharides whom is a well known mast cell specialist.

    I am glad to see EDS info getting out, but was very disappointed in this video. Please at least learn how to pronounce Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome before presenting on it. Learning some basics about the disorder would be helpful, too. This was so elementary as to be useless, which was a shame as I expect (and normally see) more from this channel. We zebras can spend lifetimes getting properly diagnosed, and this video gave little info that was useful toward that end, much less ways to effectively manage the condition itself (which was my hope). I've learned a lot from this channel that has been helpful - this was definitely not one of those times.
