Can Hgh Or Anabolic Steroids Help To Treat Ehlers Danlos Hypermobility?

im 35 and have ehlers danlos hypermobility. At 28 I had mrsa and lyme that is when the ehlers danlos took hold and has only gotten worse. My dr just ordered a wheelchair and a arizona brace for my ankle because it wont stay in joint. I know my collagen is faulty but I want to know can hgh help me. I believe I have dislocated almost every large and small joint in my body at least one. I know there is no cure for what i have but in theory to me anabolic steroids or hgh could help any thoughts

Hi you are suffering from an uncommon disease and the symptoms are as per the disease pattern. It is the kind of disease where the symptoms can be reduced by regular use of physiotherapy and supportive treatment including braces, as you have been suggested. I would advice against taking steroids as they have other side effects which may not be good for your disease.
