How Can Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Be Treated?

My niece has been diagnosed with ehlers danlos syndrome hypermobility recently. In the last year I ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, microscopic colitis, and was previously diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve. I have osteoarthritis in my hands, feet, knees and spine. I have 4 degenerating discs. I ve already had one spinal fusion in my neck. My muscles and joints burn and ache constantly. And I never, ever feel rested. Is it even really necessary for me to see a geneticist?

Hello,

The treatment is only symptomatic.

As the disease is already diagnosed, no point is there in seeing a geneticist.

Consult a physician for further assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain,
