Extractions: helpful? yes no Ehlers-Danlos: Arthrochalasis-Multiplex Congenita; Cutis Hyperelastica; EDS Ehlers-Danlos syndrome consists of several types of genetic connective tissue disorders. In general, these are due to collagen (a naturally occurring protein) abnormality. Common characteristics include abnormalities of the skin, ligaments and, in some instances, internal organs. Problems include fragile andIor stretchy skin, bruising, poor wound healing and loose joints, which are prone to dislocation and subluxation (partial dislocation). Chronic joint and limb pain is common even when skeletal radiographs are normal. Early degenerative arthritis, mitral valve prolapse and hernias may also present problems. Prematurity due to rupture of the fetal membranes can occur in pregnancy. When bruising presents in a child it may be incorrectly attributed to non-accidental injury. These problems form the major difficulties bringing patients to the notice of Medical and Surgical Specialists. Many patients will be directed to Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy for help with the musculoskeletal and ergonomic aspects.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome / Family Village This club is for those who have ehlersdanlos syndrome, This is a family and we discuss ehlers danlos syndrome here, and all things related to EDS. http://www.familyvillage.wisc.edu/lib_e-ds.htm
Extractions: Website: http://www.ednf.org/ This organization seeks to provide emotional support and updated information to those affected by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and to their family members. In addition, EDNF serves as a vital information link to and from the medical community. It desires to inspire and support research in the field of connective tissue disorders specifically Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The Foundation publishes a quarterly newsletter, Loose Connections, which provides current information on medical advances in EDS, as well as a means to share in the everyday experiences of living with EDS. In addition, a computerized database is maintained which allows interested members to communicate with one another. Local Branches and support groups are forming throughout the U.S. These local branches enable members to meet and network with others affected by EDS, thus decreasing the feeling of isolation so many of us know all so well. Learning conferences are held in various locations throughout the country in an effort to allow patients, family members and medical professionals the opportunity to share information about EDS.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: Are Genes The Only Cause? Explores environmental factors, such as diet and exercise, in ehlersdanlos syndrome and related connective tissue disorders. http://www.ctds.info/ehlers_danlos_syndrome.html
Extractions: W elcome to my site on health, logic and hereditary connective tissue disorders. I started the research for this web site after I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a genetic disorder with no known cure. In researching Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and related disorders, I found that much of the hereditary connective tissue disorder research is based on the premise that the various disorders are each caused by single genes unrelated to each other and unrelated to environmental factors. After spending a lot of time researching Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, related disorders, and the field of genetics in general, I disagree with this premise. I found lots of links between EDS and environmental factors, especially nutrition. I used much of this research to improve my own condition and that of my children, and I think there is every reason to think that environmental factors may be considerations for others with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and similar connective tissue disorders.

Links Also see Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Diet Changes - Part II Read my Contents: Overview - What My Basic Problems Have Been I've been working with a nutrition oriented doctors and a nutritionist this last year or so, and I must say I've learned more about what's really been wrong with me in the last couple of years than I did in the previous four decades of my life. I was helpful to finally get diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome because it provided a rational link for all of my diverse symptoms, but the diagnosis itself didn't help me to improve my health since EDS is considered by most doctors to be an inherited genetic disorder with no known cure. Bit by bit, I've been assembling pieces of information about my health problems, researching nutrition and lately everything has been starting to all fit together and make sense.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is caused by an abnormality in one of the genes that controls the production of connective tissue. There are several variations (with widely varying severity), each affecting a different gene and producing slightly different changes. The result is abnormally fragile connective tissue, which causes problems in joints and bones and may weaken internal organs.

Alphabetical Recent Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Ehlers-Danos syndrome is a group of inherited disorders characterized by excessive looseness of the joints, hyperelastic skin that is fragile and bruises easily, and/or easily damaged blood vessels and it sometimes involves rupture of internal organs. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) can occur in different forms, involving the vessels, skin and/or joints. Joint Hypermobility And Fibromyalgia It has been suggested that joint hypermobility may be associated with the pathology of fibromyalgia.

The syndrome sometimes involves rupture of internal organs. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) can occur in different forms involving vessels, skin, and/or joints with a variety of different genetic defects as their cause. Different forms of EDS have different modes of inheritance. Family history is a risk factor in some cases.
