And we continue with disease week...
In 2017, 13 subtypes of EDS were classified using specific diagnostic criteria. According to the Ehlers–Danlos Society, the syndromes can also be grouped by the symptoms determined by specific gene mutations. Group A disorders are those that affect primary collagen structure and processing. Group B disorders affect collagen folding and crosslinking. Group C includes disorders of the structure and function of the myomatrix. Group D disorders are those that affect glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis. Group E disorders are characterized by defects in the complement pathway. Group F are disorders of intracellular processes, and Group G is considered to be unresolved forms of EDS.
Don't bother with too much reading. Just scroll down and look at the pictures.

I'm taking notes
Myomatrix, youromatrix, ouromatrix ... ugh.
Even the photos grossed me out.
Interesting to me since family members are currently being tested for EDS, several of them are "double jointed" in fingers or thumbs and one can bend knees in the opposite direction. And I never knew until I was told just last month.
Those pictures. It's almost like a comic book illness.
A lot of them about this disease.
You can get lost in the matrix.
But don't you wish you could turn your feet backwards?
They are probably in for a lot of tests.
I'll bet many of these people in the past were in the circus.
