Show Notes

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, or EDS, is a group of connective tissue disorders that affect way more than just the joints. In this episode, we get into what EDS actually is, the three main subtypes you'll hear about most, and why so many people spend years getting the wrong answers before they finally get the right one. We talk about the conditions that ride along with EDS, like POTS, MCAS, and GI issues, plus the strong overlap with autism and ADHD. We get into how women get dismissed at higher rates and why that matters. Then we shift into what actually helps, what good treatment looks like, and how to be kind to the people in your life living with this. If you have EDS, love someone who does, or have ever been told you're just flexible while quietly dealing with a lot more than that, this one's for you.
