iheartcats Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 My doctor has me book an appointment with a Geneticist because of seeing some...I've even gained weight and have additional loose skin. She wants me to see if it's EDS. I don't THINK I have it? My appointment is in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauralulu Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Loose, stretchy skin is a symptom of certain types of EDS so it would be worth looking into that given that you have other symptoms too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikainorlando Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yes...I have noticed that my skin is loosing some elasticity but I am pretty sure it is from just being ill...not moving as much and a general state of not feeling well!

sugartwin Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 how closely connected is EDS and POTS? I notice a lot of people on here have bothQuite closely related. The relationship is just now being fleshed out. I asked my geneticist what she thought caused POTS in EDS patients and she said that the blood vessels, for whatever reason just don't seem to respond as well to the chemical provocation that says "constrict! constrict!" Either there is problem with the way the blood vessels themselves are made, or a problem with the nerves that carry the signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
