Tips and Tricks on How to Be Sick

05 Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome - quick tips with Eir and Laura


Listen Later

In this episode, we are going to be talking about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, or EDS. There are many types of EDS, but they are considered to be the same family of disorders because they all stem from the same cause: improperly made collagen in the body. Collagen is a protein that forms the latticework that everything in the body gets built upon, but it’s not all the same. There’s 28 different type of collagen across several different genes, and each one has a different effect if there’s an error in the genetic code, resulting in a wide range of possible symptoms for people with some form of EDS. We'll talk about some of the most common symptoms and our top tips and tricks on coping with them. Please see  for a full transcript of this podcast.
