Hi! You probably dont remember, but I had spoken with you about treatment and I have since got my inviate genetic test and read through it (still waiting on the doctor to tell me what to do for another month or two). I came back with somwthing like "undefined genetic varient" or something but that ADAMTS gene popped up on the list of other things so I'm thinking I might have this (thank God it's not veds phew). Just wanted to update! (Still miserable and getting progressively worse but learning more about it)

@teinwinbaldikan989 Hi again! I do kind of remember that conversation, but the details are fuzzy! I'm so happy you got your results finally! Usually, the genetic variants that are of uncertain significance won't get you an official diagnosis since the variants haven't been proven to cause disease yet, even if it's on the same gene with a known genetic variant to cause a disease (genes can have many variants, and some variants are perfectly normal/benign, some cause disease, and some are I that uncertain category). Hopefully the doctor will have some answers for you!

@ehlersdanlosandi That's where I'm at right now, all my genes have am "unknown varient" and there was like 12 of them identifies🥲. I dont see my chronic illness doctor until next month and that's just to speak with him about my results. I ended up speaking to people with similar conditions but through a POTS group instead of an EDS group and it was very depressing hearing everyone's stories how they basicslly had to abandon their life in order to be supported by others. I still dont know what to do on a day to day basis and I'm honestly scared but at least I know that I'm on the right track.

@teinwinbaldikan989 It's definitely scary with so many unknowns and an uncertain future. If it helps, there are still a lot of people with EDS that live relatively normal lives without a ton of pain and major health issues - it's just usually not zero pain or issues. For me, exercising regularly and eating a low-carb diet have been the biggest help for my symptoms. I just got back from a week and a half long vacation and didn't exercise other than walking and ate like crap. Now I feel terrible! I have a lot more widespread joint pain that's more intense, and I'm getting constant reflux, gas, and bloating. I even had a migraine on Monday, and I haven't had one of those in years since starting low carb. I'm getting back into my routine and hopefully will slowly start improving again. Don't lose hope!

Just a fun fact to share : this form of EDS was discovered first in animals, and 20 years after on humans. Cats, dogs, horses and cows can have dEDS. Often in cats it's easily recognisable with the additionnal skin on their bodies, that makes them have a "funny" face in comparison with other cats. I think they are absolutly adorable !

Yes, completely, beyond just research and statistics and increasing funding for help on condition, it can significantly help improve quality of life. Even if you don’t have severe symptoms, after doctor #3 of EDS suspicion, I sought it out. Now I can confidently tell doctors I have it with it officially in my records, with a direct answer to “why do you think so?” It’s no longer challenging me if they don’t think I have it, but a much more qualified doctor. Not only that, but my mom who was much older so no longer flexible, it began explaining so many of her own issues. The comorbidities matter, because you’re more likely to have complications or things a doctor may not immediately jump to. It helped explain why my mom had to go to a wound clinic to get a surgery infusion fixed, why her gut is so slow that led to so so many issues from gastroparesis, diverticulitis, hiatal hernia, etc, and why she had to get so many joint replacements. As her daughter, I get to see these and see the signs early and begin changing my life style to minimize the conditions- I already have a slow gut, so I’m going my best to manage it so that I don’t end up finding out about x issue it caused later down the line due to me ignoring it. Not only that, I can seek aid for getting physically in shape with significantly less risk of injury since I can get physical therapy to stabilize my joints and guidance on how to be active while minimizing the wear on my joints.

I know this is two years old, but this was super helpful! I see a new Primary September 19th for a hEDS evaluation, and then from there he may refer me to get a genetics test. Thankfully I live 4 hours from Sioux Falls so I wouldn’t have to do too much traveling if that’s the case!🙏🏻 Growing up I was considered double jointed and clumsy. I had one major hip dislocation in second grade, and a finger dislocation in middle school, but I’ve always had joint subluxations and joint injuries. I’ve been watching your videos and can do just about everything in your Shorts you post. The only thing I’m worried about is I haven’t had any organ prolapses(or at least that I know of.) or hernias so I’m afraid I’ll be dismissed.

@mindyrobinson5642 Hi! Thanks for your kind words! A variant, or variant if uncertain significance (VUS) as they're usually called, just means that there is a genetic variant found on a gene that has not yet been determined to be benign (not disease causing), or pathogenic (disease causing). For example, I have a variant of uncertain significance that was found through genetic testing on my FBN1 gene. The FBN1 has a known mutation (a pathogenic variant) for Marfan Syndrome. Because my variant is a VUS, I do not have Marfan Syndrome (the symptoms for it don't fit me either). So essentially, your and my variants need further research to determine if they cause disease or not.

I think me, my sister, and possibly my mother have ClEds. Thought we couldn’t have eds for a while cuz none of us seriously atrophic scar, my mom even keloids sometimes. None of us have diagnoses but I am actively seeking one atm due to rapidly deteriorating joint health. My dad has flat feet and hypermobility issues, but my mom has had it so rough. Both her ankles have been broken, her Achilles’ tendon tore tripping over a tent, first knee replacement in her 40s, second knee a few years later, surgeries for multiple soft tissue conditions in both hands, recently had spine surgery and on top of that she now has had a prolapse too, as well as hand foot malformations. Me and the sister got the hand and foot deformities too, I have hip FAI and tore both labrums in my hips at 19, shoulders starting to go too and I’ve had pre-arthritic knees since I was a teenager (didn’t know then, “growing pains”, sure) and nerve issues in my left trap. Also got gastrointestinal issues and all of us have really low muscle tone and pelvic floor weakness, although I’m the one with seriously concerning proprioception. Me and the mom have swallowing issues, although hers may have cleared up. I’m only a couple years from 30. Sisters in her early 20s and dealing with tendonitis now. This all goes back generations, gma on moms side has a lot of the same issues, and that gpa has some hypermobility too, I still doubt they have the full recessive combo though. Very few resources in MN it seems sadly.
