"Transforming Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome" : What is the disease’s history? What are its clinical signs and symptoms? Is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome really that rare? Is it necessary to modify the disease's current classification? How is it transmitted to children? How does it evolve over the course of a lifetime? How is it managed? What treatments are available to help patients improve their quality of life? How can confusing emergency situations for both patients and caregivers be managed?These are only a few of the questions that this book attempts to answer precisely, with specific treatment regimens adapted to the unique situations that any family physician or specialist may encounter. Dr. Stéphane Daens collaborated with thirty specialists from around the world to get a better understanding of this disease, which remains underdiagnosed and poorly understood. Patients experience severe medical wandering and a more than two-decade delay in diagnosis because of the lack of knowledge about the disease. Although it is often confused with Fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome necessitates a completely different approach to treatment and management. It is a hereditary condition with currently unclear transmission pathways. This book introduces novel concepts involving the disease transmission and evolution over a lifetime. Aside from classical genetics, the role of epigenetics, mast cells, autonomous nervous system, proprioception, nutrition, and microbiota appears unavoidable.Main author: Doctor Stéphane Daens.
