## Resource

Flexibility, pain, and fatigue are part of hypermobility EDS. In this conversation, Dr. Taylor Kerrins discusses Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), particularly hypermobile EDS, covering its definition, symptoms, diagnosis, and management strategies. He shares personal experiences with the condition, the challenges of obtaining a diagnosis, and the importance of physical therapy and exercise. The discussion also touches on genetic testing and available support resources for patients. Taylor emphasizes the need for ongoing research and understanding of EDS, highlighting the complexities of the condition and the importance of community support. Key Takeaways: EDS is a connective tissue disease with various types. Joint dislocations are common in individuals with hypermobile EDS. There is no specific genetic test for hypermobile EDS. Exercise is extremely helpful but must be tailored to the individual.. Support groups provide valuable resources and community for EDS patients. Ongoing research is essential for understanding EDS better. Dr. Taylor Kerrins is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medical Genetics & Genomics at the Medical University of South Carolina.
