When most people think of food allergies, they picture the immediate, dramatic reactions that define IgE-mediated allergies, such as hives, swelling, and anaphylaxis. These reactions are driven by immunoglobulin E, or IgE, a type of antibody that triggers a rapid immune response upon exposure to a food allergen. But there is another category of food […]
When people think about the body systems affected by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), the voice box probably isn’t one of the first things that comes to mind. People with EDS often learn that connective tissue plays a role in far more parts of the body than they initially realized, and yet they may still be surprised […]
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), and the closely related hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD), are commonly thought of as conditions that primarily affect women. Walk into any EDS support group, online community, or clinic waiting room, and the overwhelming majority of people there will be female. But does that mean men are truly less affected, or does […]
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a complex chronic condition that for many patients comes with some level of disability. It also often comes with other comorbidities (health conditions that occur alongside a primary diagnosis) such as dysautonomia or mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). As there are 13 types of EDS and symptoms often manifest differently in […]
If you have hEDS or HSD, it probably isn’t news to you that these conditions are sometimes associated with neuro-related comorbidities such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), craniocervical instability (CCI), tethered cord, and intracranial hypertension, among others. However, a new concept paper, released as a preprint on August 10, 2026, suggests that there may […]
If you are among the many people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) who also have dysautonomia, summer can feel less like a season to enjoy and more like something to survive. Research suggests that dysautonomia affects approximately 80% of people with hypermobile EDS, making it one of the most common comorbidities associated with the condition. For […]
Like many people, my hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) was diagnosed after a steep and sudden decline in my health. I had been navigating fatigue, pain, and fogginess for years, but in April 2020, I became bedbound for months following an incident during a Zoom call where I began blacking out and twitching. I had been […]
This month, we wanted to give you a peek into the daily lives of our team members by asking them to share a few of their favorite go-to supportive items for Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD). While these aids might be what work for us personally, we hope they offer inspiration and ideas to help you live your life to the fullest with EDS/HSD.
