Mission: Ehler-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a genetic connective tissue (collagen) disorder that causes debilitating pain, joint dislocations, arterial/organ ruptures/dissections and has resulted in numerous deaths from a lack of knowledge. EDS TODAY was born in 2000, out of dire necessity to help those with EDS acquire the latest, most up-to-date medical information and contacts in one resource guide, a newsletter. Which is written for, by and about people with EDS, each page is filled with many voices from around the world, sharing their experience, advice, and support for one another. In addition to this newsletter, we have worked tirelessly over the last ten years on outreach, advocacy, support and helping to raise funds for ongoing scientific EDS research. We are fully aware that the ONLY way to improve the future and the quality of life for the EDS patient is through RESEARCH. We are committed to this goal! EDS Today is proud to say that we continue to be staffed 100% by dedicated volunteers.
