Super Stretchy Skin

Your question may be, "Well, why can I do that thing with my fingers?"

Well here is the answer: you may have some hypermobile joints that also known as double-jointed. If you had EDS, the doctor would have noticed something not normal and have a special doctor take a look at you, so don't freak out.

What other things come with this?

Musculoskeletal symptom, basically a big word for pain all over.

Fibromyalgia is where chronic pain begins to disrupt sleep, causes depression, fatigue, and sensitivity to pain.

Also, low blood pressure, migraine headaches, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids. During medical procedures, if you are cut open, you must be glued and not stitched up.

Why a zebra?

It represents the fight against EDS. May is the national awareness month for people with EDS. SO please wear zebra stripes the month of

May to show your support.

What can hypermobility cause ?

What can EDS cause?

Every time joints come out of place it cause tissue damage, and at times severe or easy bruising. It can also cause super stretchy ligaments, and very stretchy skin.

There are various dental concerns such as high palate with dental crowding, poor enamel, multiple cavities, receding gums, bleeding gums, and periodontal disease.

It can cause looseness in joints and easy bruising, which result in more common dislocations and sprains within the joints. Pain and popping is common in the joints such as the elbow, jaw, hip, knees, back, and fingers. In some cases the fingers can be the worst .

Girl stuff!

Women with EDS, their ligaments supporting the uterus can be weak, causing a risk of uterine prolapse (the condition where the uterus "slips" and presses on the bladder, causing you to pee a lot).

Is there a cure?

What helps

Hypermobility and EDS?

What is it?

You can help Hypermobility by taking special therapy, which will help prevent looseness in the joints.

Weakness and excessive stretchiness of other tissues in the pelvis will increase the risk of cystocele and rectocele (the condition in which the bladder and rectum pushes on the wall of the vagina). There can also be frequent pain in the pelvic area.

Hypermobility is compared to Ehlers-Danols Syndrome, (EDS). One disorder, EDS, involves connective tissues which are the architecture of organs, muscles, bones, and skin.

Sometimes surgery is the answer but that can be dangerous.Surgery can be a risk because if you have EDS it could effect the connective tissues, the architecture of organs, muscles, bones, and skin.

There is no cure because hypermobility and EDS are genetic (runs in the family). Girls are affected about three times more often then men; 10% of the population get diagnosed with this disease(EDS). It can interfere with a the production of collagen, an important protein that helps to glue tissues together.

More girl stuff,

Pregnancy!

Another, Hypermobility, involves abnormal joint range.

Pregnancy and delivery is difficult. In fact, the circulating blood expands during pregnancy. While you are pregnant you may experience symptoms such as cold hands and feet or fatigue. On the other hand, heartburn, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and being lightheaded, can be the worst during pregnancy.

Along with an increased incidence of premature rupture of membranes and rapid labor and delivery (less than 4 hours), but with severe hypermobility or EDS, pregnant women are at higher risk for complications during pregnancy.
