Diagnosis is often based on symptoms and confirmed by genetic testing or skin biopsy, particularly with hypermobile EDS (hEDS), but people may initially be misdiagnosed with hypochondriasis, depression, or myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome. [4]
In particular, musculoskeletal involvement is a requirement for diagnosis with any form of hypermobility spectrum disorder but not for hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. Like hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, hypermobility spectrum disorders are associated with orthostatic tachycardia, gastrointestinal disorders, and pelvic and bladder ...
The Ehlers–Danlos Society is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to patient support, scientific research, advocacy, and increasing awareness for the Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD). [1] The society has organized multiple events around the world in an attempt to raise awareness for EDS ...
Hypermobility can also be caused by connective tissue disorders, such as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS) and Marfan syndrome. Joint hypermobility is a common symptom for both. EDS has numerous sub-types; most include hypermobility in some degree. When hypermobility is the main symptom, then EDS/hypermobility type is likely.
People who maintain or start physical activity of any intensity after receiving a dementia diagnosis may be at a decreased risk for all-cause mortality, a new study suggests.
Another common condition that often co-occurs with ME/CFS is hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS). [33]: 57 Unlike ME/CFS, EDS is present from birth. People with ME/CFS are more often hypermobile compared to the general population. [29]: 28–29 Sleep apnea may also co-occur with ME/CFS.
A diagnosis should at a minimum include measurements of blood pressure and heart rate while lying flat and after at least three minutes of standing. The best way to make a diagnosis includes a range of testing, notably an autonomic reflex screen, tilt table test , and testing of the sudomotor response ( ESC , QSART or thermoregulatory sweat test).
Diagnosis typically involves a combination of biochemical testing and genetic testing, often performed around the age of four. Early diagnosis is crucial for managing symptoms and improving the quality of life for those affected. [1] In most cases, childhood dementia is diagnosed after developmental regression is observed.
