I wish our eyes could see what microscopes can see; maybe then I and so many other souls with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome wouldn’t be gaslit and told it’s in our heads. The reality is...it’s actually “in” our collagen. This is what collagen looks like under a microscope—on the left is ‘normal’ collagen, and on the right is what my collagen looks like because of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that causes faulty collagen; collagen is the most abundance protein in the human body and is the “glue” that holds the body together. Collagen is literally essential to every system in the body & there are 4 types of collagen—

Type I provides the structure to skin, bones, tendons, connective tissue, fibrous cartilage and teeth; Type II cushions the joints and is found in elastic cartilage; Type III supports the structure of muscles, organs, and arteries; Type IV is found in the layers of skin and helps with filtration.

This is why many with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome also live with other comorbid conditions—POTS, MCAS, Gastroparesis, Chronic Migraine, IBS, Fibromyalgia, hernias, Dental issues, bladder disorders, scoliosis, and chronic fatigue syndrome are just *a few* of the other illnesses that can come along with EDS.

[ID—a picture is taped to a piece of watercolor paper that is splashed with black ink and gold glitter; the picture shows a comparison of collagen between someone with EDS and someone without. The pic on the left reads ‘normal’ with red font; the collagen looks thick. The pic on the right reads “EDS” in red font; the collagen is noticeably thinner and resembles spider webs.

Let me ask you a question: Are you miserable in your skin, and not sure why? You're only supposed to hurt if something pokes you or there's a legitimate reason. But what if your pain-sensing fibers are going off for no reason? What if those nerve endings are

"So while masks are helpful, they are only for external protection. People get mad at me when I say that but it is a fact. The mask does not crank out more antibodies, and it does not improve T helper cell function. It’s a mask. It is excellent external protection but offers nothing for your innate or adaptive immunity. You can still get sick and that’s because exposure still occurs when your fingers and hands are touching things in the store that others have touched, or you touch a door or a handle. You’re also tracking pathogens through the house on your shoes and clothes. There are some that live in you for that matter! We are made up of opportunistic organisms and so we need to co-exist peacefully. The way to do that is to keep your immune system strong, and you do that internally. I call it internal protection for your cells. If you consider both internal and external methods for immune support, you give yourself the best odds."

Suzy Cohen, PhD, Pharmacist

Everyone talks about masks. I like them and wear them but that is external protection only. While important and useful, let’s use common sense:The way we respond from a pathogen has more to do with our internal protection, as in our immune system!So ask yourself if it’s up to par. Because if it...

What do you think? Would you rather know you have something, even if you knew that there wasn't a cure? Even if just so you knew, so you could do preventives and/or knew what was causing issues?

Is the lack of a cure for EDS or HSD an appropriate reason to NOT make the diagnosis? 🤬

MANY disorders don't have a cure but we diagnose them anyway. Why? So people get necessary treatment.

Who else thinks proper diagnosis is priceless?
