Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: When flexibility can become a liability

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - We are highlighting a condition tonight that many people have never heard of. But chances are, you probably know someone dealing with the symptoms.

It’s called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), and it’s a connective tissue disorder that makes people super flexible.

Dr. Jim Harris, a medical director focusing on EDS, and patient Laura Saltzgaber joined us on WNDU 16 News Now at Noon to tell us more about the rare genetic disorder and how it can impact patients.

You can watch their full conversation with Lauren Moss and Joshua Short in the video above.
