Hello, Im a 38yr old female with Ehlers Danlose type 3. I seem to have more pain than ever and new symptoms and im not sure if ED has anything to do with it. Hair loss,it s falling out in clumps leaving bald spots. All of my joints are really stiff and causing alot of pain. Does ED get worse with age ?

Hello,
Unfortunately, we can not cure EDS. Only supportive treatment can be offered. The symptoms will worsen with age as the collagen will degenerate with age. Consult a rheumatologist for expert opinion,
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
