Suggest Treatment For Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
I recently got diagnosed with Ehlers Danlis Syndrome Hypermobility Type III by Prof Rodney Graham (who is the top EDS Dr). He went through my family history & highlighted that my 17yrs old niece has EDS too (she s had 3 slipped discs in her back since she was 15yrs old, Siatica & Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome). He said ALL her symptoms were probably due to EDS & that the CVS was actually something else (that EDS causes, but I cannot remember what he called it). So my question is: What does EDS cause that has symptoms similar to CVS (she vomits for 12hrs straight, if she gets stressed, is tired or has anxiety)?? I can t remember the science name ?? She is seeing her GP Friday for referal to an EDS Specialist, but I wanted to know this information so the GP doesn t fob her off AGAIN!! Many thanks in advance. Xxx

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Currently there is no definite cure for ehler danlos syndrome. However medications are helpful in reducing complications.
For pain relief over the counter analgesics like ibuprofen can be taken. Physical therapy help to strong the muscle around joint and prevent dislocations. Lowering of blood pressure is helpful to reduce the stress on vessels wall.
Vascular EDS has many symptoms like thin skin, transparent skin, thin chin, heart valve problems, collapsed lung etc.
Consult your doctor and start treatment accordingly.
