May is EDS Awareness month, and carer Rachel has been kind enough to share her experience of lockdown while caring for her daughter. Follow the link in our bio to read her story on our blog.

Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and the closely related Hypermobility Spectrum disorder (HSD) are multi-systemic heritable connective tissue disorders. Connective tissue is the glue like substance that is in all parts of our body. In people with EDS/HSD the connective tissue is defective. As connective tissue is throughout our body it can affects ligaments, joints, tendons, skin, organs, brain, heart, stomach, bowel and bladder, vascular issues, extreme allergy issues, anxiety issues, extreme tiredness and autism. There are about 14 types of EDS and most common is hypermobile EDS (hEDS). Sufferers vary widely in their symptoms and in some cases it can be life-limiting. At the moment there is no clear diagnostic pathway for the hEDS/HSD. @sussex_eds
