EDS Beyond the Joints
Hypermobile EDS is a systemic connective tissue disorder — but it's still commonly understood as a joint problem. This resource covers what else is affected and why the full picture matters for your care team.
POTS & Pelvic Venous Congestion
The connection between POTS and pelvic blood pooling is underexplored and frequently missed. This guide explains why it matters and what to bring to your next cardiology appointment.
Histamine Breakdown & Mast Cell Activation
MCAS begins with histamine — but the biochemistry is more nuanced than most patient resources explain. This guide breaks down the pathway in accessible terms and connects it to common symptoms.
Aldosterone & Dysautonomia
Aldosterone plays an underappreciated role in autonomic dysfunction — affecting blood pressure, fluid balance, and symptom severity. This resource explains the mechanism and its clinical implications for treatment.
Fibromyalgia & hEDS: The Overlap
Fibromyalgia and hypermobile EDS are often mistaken for each other — or diagnosed sequentially without explanation. This resource untangles the overlap and what it means for your treatment plan.
Collagen Turnover & What It Means for Healing
Understanding how collagen is synthesized, broken down, and repaired helps explain why recovery looks different for people with EDS — and why standard timelines often don't apply.
Compensation Behaviors in EDS
Many people with EDS unconsciously adapt their movement to protect unstable joints. This guide explains what compensation behaviors are, why they develop, and why recognizing them matters in physical therapy.
EDS & Eye Complications
Connective tissue disorders can affect ocular health in ways most ophthalmologists aren't trained to recognize. This guide outlines what to watch for and how to advocate effectively with your eye care provider.
Intracranial Pressure & Headaches
Pressure headaches in people with connective tissue disorders are frequently misattributed to tension or migraine. This resource explains the distinction, the underlying mechanisms, and next steps for evaluation.
