Welcome to EDS Louisiana

EDS (Ehlers-Danlos syndromes) are a group of underlying genetic conditions which cause faulty connective  tissues. Connective tissues, or collagen, connect every part of our bodies. When they are faulty, this can lead to an array of problems.  Many impacted by this condition suffer greatly without ever knowing or understanding that these are true medical conditions and many may live decades, or even their entire lives without ever receiving answers, validation or treatments. While there are no cures, there are ways to manage the many symptoms that can be challenging to live with. Help us spread awareness and offer support by following and sharing our social accounts provided below.
