@dra_says: We need to be aware of this condition that is much more common in people who have Ehlers Danlos syndrome.

We also have a higher risk of central sleep apnea. At home studies won't be as good at picking up central sleep apnea per my sleep specialist

I wonder if other EDS folks experience this: I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and given a machine. But when I use the machine, I can’t sleep. It’s not because the mask is uncomfortable although it did take some getting used to. It’s because I feel so oxygenated and awake! I’m so full of energy and my brain starts racing. I had to stop using the machine because I would get two hours of sleep a night. So I can either be tired because I’m not breathing in my sleep or I can be tired because I’m not sleeping!

I have a theory Ed could cause post partum hemorrhage

This! For those who CPAP doesn’t work, might be worth looking into a Mandibular Advanced Device (MAD). I have moderate/ severe OSA. They found the structure of anatomy meant that CPAP doesn’t work but MAD was effective on myself (apart from currently trying to combat TMJ pain now)

They are higher risk for OSA and for hypersolemnence (narcolepsy/ IH) according to a presentation at EDS society conference

My “sleep apnea” is my esophagus shifting in my sleep. Sleeping with a full height pregnancy pillow helps a lot. It keeps me from rolling into weird positions.

Also, another comborbidity that's often overlooked (especially in EDSers with severe Dysautonomia) is Centeral Apnea!! As our autonomic nervous systems' gradually degrade, our brains start to forget to make us breathe.

a narcolepsy scientist presented to a narcolepsy support group that I'm part of and explained recent research puts narcolepsy is the same group as eds, mcas, etc. they're very comorbid. so just get the sleep test in the lab because the home test won't test for all of the sleep disorders that you have a higher risk for.

I wish my doctors knew a single thing about eds so I can actually get something sorted for myself. But I live in the middle of nowhere with no money to go out my way to pay for treatment. It's been 15 years with no answers

My gp won’t even look into an eds diagnosis. Even tho I have far too many symptoms for it not to be that.

my 17 year old daughter was diagnosed with POTS at 15 year old. when she was 7 we were told she is likely double jointed. For the last 5 years she is experiencing abdominal / gastro issues, heavy periods, still is very flexible in many ways, her knees and jaw locks often for years- GP referred her to MSK clinic but they appearantly can't diagnose but help with physio

this happened to me, they told me to lose weight when I've had these symptoms my whole life if I sleep on my back. but luckily, LDN really has reduced inflammation in my body and I can breath better, and take deeper breaths.

I have obstructive sleep apnea severely and I have a little bit of central and I wore my machine for over three years and I felt so much better but it ended up being in a place that had black mold and I’m afraid to use it so I haven’t used it in over six months and I have no way to get another one and it’s really affecting my health 😢

Please I really believe I have this. How do I put this to my Dr and be heard? I have had 2 brain surgeries to remove pituitary tumour that unfortunately still left tumour behind meaning I still have acromegaly. I have read eds is often common with my condition? I also had a hypopsyectomy

I had a sleep study because I was so tired and sleep didn’t touch it, minimal activity would send me back to bed exhausted. Sleep study came back fine and they basically shrugged me off. 3 years later I have a diagnosis for me/cfs. Look into it if this sounds like you.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth mentioning testing for Eds to my consultant. I have pots but also have multiple eds symptoms but I’m not hyper mobile. I used to be very flexible as a kid always doing gymnastic stuff but I’m not now, is it worth even getting tested as I’m not hyper mobile?
