Living With Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and Fibromyalgia

Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are connective tissue disorders that may involve joint hypermobility, instability, chronic pain, and fatigue. Fibromyalgia is characterised by widespread pain, sleep disturbance, cognitive difficulties, and heightened sensitivity.

Management often includes pain relief, physiotherapy, pacing strategies, and psychological support. Many patients continue to experience significant symptoms despite ongoing care.

These conditions often require flexible, long-term management.
