Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?

Hi I’ve only recently heard about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I have been looking for something to explain and connect my numerous ailments. (otherwise its just bad luck);-) I have seen a geneticist regarding suspected neurofibromatosis but this has now been disregarded as a possible explanation. I’m female and 21.

I wanted to ask others with knowledge on the EDS what they thought, I am not particularly flexible, and wondered if all people with EDS are overtly flexible as I know there is more then just one classification of it……..?

I thought the best thing to do would be to list the problems/ characteristics I have and see what you experts think? Maybe I’m just grabbing at straws.

Thanks Beckie
