Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders. It is a progressively debilitating syndrome that can cause loose unstable joints which dislocate easily, skin fragility (tears and bruises easily), and/or organ fragility (major organs, veins and arteries can spontaneously rupture). EDS affects about 1 in every 5000 people; however it is grossly under- and/or mis-diagnosed: some 80% of people with EDS do not receive a proper diagnosis or treatment within their lifetime. We are working to change this statistic by raising awareness of this disorder within the medical community and in society at large. The EDNF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. www.ednf.org

i remember the fist time i didn't feel pain it was after a shot of morphine before knee surgery. the surgeon didn't know what to think of the cartilage. he sent it to be tested for cancer. I'm 52 , crippled but i have hope. thanks you tube. everything fits now. you see i didn't know what was wrong until i started researching.
Hugs to you, YoMags! It's nice see this. Technology makes me feel not so alone anymore! I have EDS-hypermobility type, or as my PT calls it Gumby Syndrome. Getting the word out about the kooky and painful group of conditions is great!
