It's always nice to see the physical book in print.
Authored by Doctors Nicholas L. DePace, Stephen Soloway, Michael Yayac and Joe Colombo, "Ehlers-Danlos/Hypermobility Syndromes and Other Connective Tissue Disorders: Assessments, Diagnostics, and Therapies," covers Ehlers-Danlos and hypermobility syndromes with an emphasis on treatment of the parasympathetic and sympathetic (P&S) nervous system dysfunctions.
Unfortunately, most EDS/HSD patients have been misdiagnosed and misunderstood by providers. EDS/HSD is a multisystem, multifaceted disorder. The P&S manifestations and treatments are also poorly understood throughout the healthcare community. To this end the authors wish to teach providers and patients alike to reduce the life-long suffering from both the disorder and the marginalization.
There are two aspects of teaching that are required and provided by this book: improved understanding of EDS/HSD and improved understanding of P&S (autonomic) dysfunction and treatment. For example, with the autonomic nervous system, more treatment or therapy is never better. Relief of P&S dysfunction must be low and slow to prevent causing more symptoms from higher doses of medication or polypharmacy. To this end, stress often sets patients back and both providers and patients alike must have proper expectations set for successfully improving patient outcomes (quality of life and productivity).
