Are Fatigue, Arthritis, Bulging Discs And Nerve Problems Caused By Ehlers Danlos?
I am a 49 yr old female who up to 3 yrs ago had a very active lifestyle. My daughter has ehlers danlos and another daughter has fibromyalgia. I have been told that i most likely passed the eds gene to my daughter. my question is in the last few yrs i am suffering from chronic fatigue, arthrtis in my back and neck with bulging discs in both areas and nerve problems in my hands and legs/feet with numbness to these areas. Could the eds have caused these problems? I have had a lumbar puncture and mri because the docs thought it may be ms but that was clear. Any suggestions? Thank you.
