Hello sir,
Ehler danlos syndrome is genetic disorder which affects connective tissue.
sorry to say it has no cure ,this you have to understand ,treatment is palliative.
Your daughter needs a systematic care comprises of regular follow up and assessment of cardiovascular system,physiotherapy and orthopaedic consultation together.
With this ;it can improve her daily life activities which will provide a positive approach towards life.
Getting frustrated and depressed is a reaction to the problem ,you have put action to the problem which will solve it.
I hope best for you and your daughter.
Thank you.
