Extractions: Last updated August 31, 2001 About Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of hereditary disorders that affects mainly the skin and joints, but other organs as well. EDS results in weakness and/or excessive flexibility of the connective tissues of the body. People with EDS are born without the ability to make certain components of the normal connective tissue of the body. EDS is a relatively rare disorder, occurring in fewer than 1 in 20,000 people. The various forms of EDS are characterized by abnormalities in the chemical structure of the body's connective tissues (for example, skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments). As a result, skin may become fragile and joints unstable.
The Ehlers Danlos Foundation Of New Zealand
Support for sufferers of the ehlersdanlos syndrome and related Hypermobility Syndrome and provides some information for the medical profession and general public.
http://www.edfnz.org.nz

Extractions: The Ehlers Danlos Foundation of New Zealand began as a support group in May 1995 when it was believed there were only twelve families in the country with the condition. Of course this proved a remarkable underestimation of the number of people within New Zealand who actually have EDS. Also catering for people with Hypermobility Syndrome the group achieved charitable status in early 2000. The aim of the organization is to provide emotional support for sufferers of the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and HMS, their spouses and family members. Also to create awareness of these conditions by the distribution of information amongst the medical profession and general public. Therefore a newsletter "Loosely Speaking" is published three times a year. It contains both medical information on EDS and personal stories written by the members of the EDFNZ. Individuals with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome can be affected differently with a variation in the severity and range of symptoms. Because they so often look "normal" it is often difficult to have the condition taken seriously by the medical profession and even within their circle of family and friends. Therefore it can also be an isolating condition and the general lack of awareness and understanding can lead to feelings of frustration, stress and depression. If you're interested in either making a donation or in joining the EDFNZ as a member or Friend of the Foundation please feel free to e-mail or write to the address below. For $10.00 NZ you will receive a copy of Loosely Speaking, the Foundation's newsletter, three times a year.

http://www.ednf.org/whatisit.php

Extractions: Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation What is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? Symptoms Types Nosology Prevalence ... Prognosis Individuals with EDS have a defect in their connective tissue, the tissue which provides support to many body parts such as the skin, muscles and ligaments. The fragile skin and unstable joints found in EDS are the result of faulty collagen. Collagen is a protein which acts as a "glue" in the body, adding strength and elasticity to connective tissue. Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders, characterized by articular(joint) hypermobility, skin extensibility and tissue fragility.There are six major types of EDS. The different types of EDS are classified according to their manifestations of signs and symptoms.Each type of EDS is a distinct disorder that "runs true"in a family. This means that an individual with Vascular Type EDS will not have a child with Classical Type ED

http://www.orthop.washington.edu/arthritis/types/ehlersdanlos/05

Extractions: Last updated December 7, 2001 Coping with EDS If you or your child has EDS, you know that it may present many challenges. Adults and children may initially react with feelings of fear, anger or depression. Children may also feel self-conscious about having the disorder. Try to remember that it often takes time to adjust to having a chronic (long-lasting) disorder, but that many people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are able to live full, relatively active lives. If you have EDS you might have concerns about managing pain , maintaining independence, financial strain or family worries. Discussing your problems and learning new ways to manage daily activities will help you cope more effectively. Your family may be one of your best sources of support. Discuss these issues with them, and ask for their support. It is important that parents discuss their child's symptoms with teachers, neighbors, relatives, baby-sitters and friends. They need to understand that cuts and bruises are common features of the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, and not signs of child abuse. They also need to know about the following:

Extractions: PIDL Home/ Contents Development Nutrition Acute Illness ... Psychosocial Genetic/Metabolic Disorders EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) comprise a heterogenous group of connective tissue disorders that share, as fundamental features, alterations of the integrity of the supporting structures of the body and inheritance in a simple Mendelian fashion. The cardinal manifestations of EDS are hyperextensible skin, hypermobile joints, easy bruisability, and generalized fragility of various connective tissues. The spectrum of severity ranges from almost imperceptible findings to severe debilitating illness. EDS results from the molecular abnormality of the connective tissues, and the clinical and genetic heterogeneity are, in part, a reflection of an underlying biochemical heterogenity. Four varieties of EDS have this far been found to be due to different abnormalities in the biogenesis of the collagens. Joint hypermobility is a cardinal feature. Typically, joint hypermobility involves both large and small joints. Joint effusions may be relatively frequent and hemarthrosis may occur. Congenital club foot is also not uncommon.

Extractions: This site is dedicated to providing information and support for people with both joint hypermobility (including Ehlers-Danlos and Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndromes, or any form of Hypermobility Syndrome) and Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (aka Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, or Myalgic Encephalopathy in the U.K. and Australia). It is the first of its kind and provides information on these conditions, and also links to many sites with much more detailed information. It's important to note that this is an amateur site, not an official local, national or international support or information group. Hopefully, however, small individual endeavours like this will pave the way for such official groups to emerge. In addition, the Hypermobility & Fibromyalgia Group (hm-ed-fm) is the only discussion/support group online for people with both of these conditions. All are welcome!

Extractions: Website: http://www.ednf.org/ This organization seeks to provide emotional support and updated information to those affected by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and to their family members. In addition, EDNF serves as a vital information link to and from the medical community. It desires to inspire and support research in the field of connective tissue disorders specifically Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The Foundation publishes a quarterly newsletter, Loose Connections, which provides current information on medical advances in EDS, as well as a means to share in the everyday experiences of living with EDS. In addition, a computerized database is maintained which allows interested members to communicate with one another. Local Branches and support groups are forming throughout the U.S. These local branches enable members to meet and network with others affected by EDS, thus decreasing the feeling of isolation so many of us know all so well. Learning conferences are held in various locations throughout the country in an effort to allow patients, family members and medical professionals the opportunity to share information about EDS.
