Thank You for dropping me a line Rhapsody. Ehlers-Danlos is such a rare disorder I wasn't sure if there might be some others here with it. Most of the EDS sites stay quiet. Just seeing if anyone might be here at PC. Being rare I wasn't dx'ed until 2006 after breaking my ankle. I actually got a physical therapist who knew of the disorder. He looked through my medical records and had my ortho doc to run a test that came back EDS. I had been told I had MS and had started treatment with no relief of my symptoms. There is no treatment for EDS. The only thing to do is manage symptoms. Bracing my joints, trying to manage pain and my eyes have been effected as well, so I try not to strain them. We made our vacation plans the other night and my husband and I decided that it would be best to get a handicapped hotel room. We decided that it would just be safer in the bath that way. Just dealing with things having to check now. Not used to it.

I do not have this syndrome. But I do have hypermobility of my joints, and connective tissue. It's the reason I didn't die in the industrial accident, and it's also the reason I cannot fully heal from it. I live with Chronic neuropathic myofascial pain.

Never heard of this syndrome before now. I hope PC can give you the support you all need. Gentle
