Hms + heds

[SophieeBabessxo]

I've heard soo many different things, and I really want to know the answer.
What/is there a difference between Hypermobility Sydrome and HEDS? :blink:

I am going to take a stab in the dark though and say that people with hypermobility syndrome do not have the defect with their collagen unlike HEDS patients do.

[SophieeBabessxo]

That's what I thought, but the physio gave a booklet on HMS, and it says that the defect collagen can be one of the reasons.

It can be one of the reasons but HMS has sort of different ways of it.. and has different ways of the other symptoms as well.

[SophieeBabessxo]

ok, thanks :)

[xxBrittany]

No problem, hope I helped!

The HMS thing I noticed is more prevalent in the UK and stuff than in the US.

The EDS experts here say that HMS needs to be combined with HEDS.

[SophieeBabessxo]

Yeahh, i agree :)

[xxBrittany]

Me too Sophie!

[SophieeBabessxo]

And a lot more research needs to go into them both!

[xxBrittany]

Haha, yes, YOU MY DEAR, are correct!

[SophieeBabessxo]

Would be a very nice change :L

[xxBrittany]

Yes it would!
