Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) presents a wide range of symptoms, primarily affecting connective tissue throughout the body. While joint hypermobility, fragile skin, and chronic pain are hallmark traits, EDS can also impact the nervous system, digestion, and even cardiovascular function.
Many individuals with EDS experience overlapping conditions such as dysautonomia, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and gastrointestinal issues, further complicating symptom management. The following list highlights the diverse ways EDS can manifest, though severity and specific symptoms vary depending on the subtype. This list does not include extensive lists for Dysautonomia or subtype POTS, Mass Cell Activation Syndrome or other comorbidities, though many symptoms overlap.
