If you need surgery, discuss with your provider how the wound will be dressed and cared for after the procedure. Genetic counseling may be helpful to determine if you have an inherited disorder. Neurocutaneous syndromes. Bradley and Daroff's Neurology in Clinical Practice. Philadelphia, PA: Elsevier; chap Abnormalities of dermal fibrous and elastic tissue. Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology. Editorial team. I will be 41 in a few weeks and my skin bounced back in about a second, so I am happy.
I try to stay hydrated and eat a well balance diet and exercise moderately throughout the week. Completely flat. Swear to God and may I die in my sleep tonight. I did the test four times in a row. I actually saw an anti-aging doctor about five years ago and he ran me through a bevy of tests to see how I was aging — even though I was 58 at the time I tested biologically around 35, with my skin being the lowest age of all: Symptom severity can vary from person to person and depends on the specific type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome that you have.
The most common type is called hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. People who have vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome often share distinctive facial features of a thin nose, thin upper lip, small earlobes and prominent eyes. They also have thin, translucent skin that bruises very easily. In fair-skinned people, the underlying blood vessels are very visible through the skin.
Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome can weaken your heart's largest artery aorta , as well as the arteries to other regions of your body. A rupture of any of these larger blood vessels can be fatal. The vascular type can also weaken the walls of the uterus or large intestines — which also may rupture. Different types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are associated with a variety of genetic causes, some of which are inherited and passed on from parent to child.
Complications depend on the types of signs and symptoms you have. For example, overly flexible joints can result in joint dislocations and early-onset arthritis. Fragile skin may develop prominent scarring. People who have vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are at risk of often fatal ruptures of major blood vessels. At 19 years old, Keil doesn't have Turner's stretchy skin, but his joints are so frail that he requires massive pain medication and lives mainly in his room, sometimes sleeping up to 40 hours in a row.
It has made it impossible for him to attend school regularly. Both Keil and his mother, Cindy, have been diagnosed with EDS, though the son's condition is much more serious. Cindy and Dylan Keil said they're taking part in a study that Dr. McDonnell's work suggests the joints of EDS patients undergo premature aging. If so, progress with EDS research could help with more common problems like arthritis. This rare disorder often remains undiagnosed, though. Look on YouTube for people with incredibly flexible joints, and McDonnell said you'll see people who may have EDS and not even know it.
The images of people contorting themselves on video bring images of a circus sideshow back to mind, and Cindy doesn't appreciate that at all. The old sideshow days. This is a real disorder that's very, very painful. A lot of people use their talents. As for Turner, his doctors believe that, despite his curious condition, he is likely to live a normal life.
