Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of inherited disorders marked by extremely loose joints, hyperelastic skin that bruises easily, and easily damaged blood vessels.
Possible complications of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome include:
Chronic joint pain
Early-onset arthritis
Failure of surgical wounds to close (or stitches tear out)
Premature rupture of membranes during pregnancy
Rupture of major vessels, including a ruptured aortic aneurysm (only in vascular EDS)
Rupture of a hollow organ such as the uterus or bowel (only in vascular EDS)
Rupture of the eyeball
This is a debilitating, progressive issue that the medical field barely acknowledges. It needs to be considered a disability, but that's not going to happen until we make our voices heard.
