how is ehlers danlos syndrome diagnosed
hi joint hypermobility can be due to ehlers danlos syndrome which is characterized by weakness of the connective tissues of the body it is also seen in down syndrome and in people with marian syndrome I do not find a picture of marian syndrome seeing your images however the fact is that it is very rare to get a classical picture of any syndrome usually we get the mixed picture there is no point in finding your problem this way through photographs and reading about the disease on the internet I would advise you to get the following investigations genetic karyotyping echo thyearoid profile x ray of long bones these investigations will give an idea of what you actually have on the basis of available information and attachments my first diagnosis would be eds I hope this helps
hello doctor so frustrating so a geneticist made a statement that I might have a mild form of hypermobility eds so I went to a rheumy who told me my brighton score was and that he knows I have hypermobility syndrome and would have to see a geneticist to see about the possibility of a mild form of eds it is like I just came from there all I know is I have joint pain clicking and back pain in my white smooth skin you can see most veins I have such bad stretch marks he even questions saying you just had one baby my hair is thin and falls out I have a sensitive tummy and get on and off chest pain I have a skin condition with little red dots everywhere as well as hay fever and cat allergies I know I have not had any dislocation but I have had a couple sprained wrist and ankles as well as a few times my knees gave out it would be lovely if I just got somewhere with my do as my pains get worst with age and I am only 21 this year
