Anatomy of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Visual of person with symptoms of EDS detailed.

EDS is more than just flexible joints or stretchy skin—it’s a systemic condition that affects every part of the body, inside and out. From chronic pain and joint dislocations to fatigue and fragile skin, the challenges are as diverse as they are invisible.

It’s not just a “joint disorder.” EDS impacts connective tissue, which supports every organ and system in the body.

Living with EDS means managing symptoms like pain, fatigue, and frequent injuries, all while hearing, “But you don’t look sick.”

For those living with EDS, every day requires resilience and strength, often unseen but deeply felt. Raising awareness helps create a world where those challenges are better understood. 💙
