Upcoming Book:  Since Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare, hereditary, connective-tissue disorder.

It is known that EDS is not well documented in Literature, so I have decided to write a book about EDS: The book will include medical research, case studies, symptoms, other than the small paragraph that Doctors get in there medical texts. Far more goes on with our bodies than most of these doctors understand or fathom.

This book will be dedicated to all who are suffering from EDS. It is time to stand up and let the world or should I say the medical doctors know what is going on with our bodies with this hidden disorder EDS.

It is my hope to get this book into the hands of doctors to be used as a tool to help them better understand patients with EDS and their complications.

If you are interested in participating by sharing your stories,trials,testimonies, symptoms, and your experiences with doctors, I have listed categories below.

Many of you from the support groups have already responded with interest. Thank YOU!

I suffer and can relate to some of the symptoms below and are willing to share them with others. Please let me know.

I will be working on this starting now not sure how long it will take just depends on the responses and information shared.

Open to all who suffer form EDS
Americans/International. Names will be mentioned with their State/ Country following each story/testimony
Unless You Request NO Mention.




These stories/testimonies can be about you, your children, family members or friends. Testimonies can consist of problems you had with the medical field, malpractice, diagnosis, a surgery, deaths, etc,
