For many with EDS/HSD, the nervous system is deeply affected. Beyond joint pain and hypermobility, serious neurological issues can develop for some which are often misunderstood or misdiagnosed:
• Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leaks – causing positional headaches, brain fog, and neck pain.
• Chiari Malformations – a group of disorders where brain tissue herniates into the spinal canal (>5mm), leading to pressure, dizziness, and coordination issues.
• Craniocervical Instability (CCI) – unstable joints the the neck/spine can compress the brainstem, causing a range of debilitating symptoms this can include AAI and segmental spinal instabilities
• Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) – increased pressure in the skull without a clear cause, leading to vision problems and chronic headaches
• Tethered Cord Syndrome – spinal cord tension can affect bladder, mobility, and cause leg weakness. most cases related to EDS are “occult”.
• Kyphosis – a combination of abnormal spinal curvature and rounding, can occur in certain types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, leading to chronic pain, respiratory issues, and reduced mobility.
• Tarlov Cysts – fluid-filled sacs along nerve roots—can occur in individuals with EDS/HSD and may contribute to pain and nerve-related symptoms.

This is from one of our amazing Cancer Survivors. Please sign the petition.

Hi Brent. Thanks for seeing me this morning re lymph issues. Attached is the context around the petition and thank you for signing and sharing it!

I have been lobbying for a while to see changes to Medicare for breast cancer survivors and previvors and have had my petition accepted by Parliament House. This is for all those who continue to fight the battle and to our pink sisters who are no longer with us.
This petition will be live until 19 February so please support us now and share with your family and friends. The more signatures we get, the more likely we will be successful for change.
The ABC will be doing an interview to support us so please sign now and SHARE, SHARE, SHARE.
Click to view the petition [https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN6928] and please share with your family and friends.
The petition will be given to Jenny Ware Federal MP, who is supportive of both issues, and she will be taking it to the Health Minister in early 2025 to lobby for change. You can also add weight to your support by emailing Your Story to Ms Ware. Please advise in the email if you’d like your name to be redacted for privacy. Jenny.Ware.MP@aph.gov.au
