Arterial Fragility is a real thing: vEDS is the subtype more likely to suffer from arterial rupture, but it can happen to any subtype due to collagen abnormalities. EDS is FAR more than being bendy 🩵🦓🩵

#VascularEhlersDanlossyndrome (vEDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder that makes the connective tissue very fragile, particularly in the blood vessels and hollow organs.

What is vEDS? vEDS is a genetic connective tissue disorder that causes the blood vessels and organs to be fragile and prone to tearing. The complications of vEDS can be life-threatening and include aneurysm, dissection, and rupture of the arteries and rupture of organs. vEDS may also cause a variety of other symptoms, including extensive bruising and spontaneous pneumothorax.

Written by my mom when she was 21 yrs old. My “low” fever of 104 at 4 mo old that lasted over two months was just written off as strep and none of my 3 drs in 2 countries seemed at all concerned about my umbilical hernia over 7 months. Mom writes that I’m a “poor crawler” and cried constantly #VEDS

A doctor wearing a white coat and a stethoscope around their neck is holding a sign with both hands. The sign reads: ‘RARE DISEASE DAY 28th Feb. 2025 …to raise awareness for rare diseases … For Ehlers-Danlos syndromes we have 12 rare named and genetically proved types. The 13th named one is hEDS and we believe not so rare but just rarely diagnosed or believed.’ Below the doctor’s hands, bold black text asks, ‘Rare? Or Rarely Diagnosed?’

RARE Disease DAY to raise awareness for rare diseases. For Ehlers-Danlos, we have 13 named types. Do you have a rare type like Classical or Vascular EDS? The 13th is hypermobility EDS (hEDS); 80-90% have it or the closely related HSD, we believe to be rare as rarely diagnosed. #EDS #HSD #vEDS #cEDS
