AI Summary
-
Declares May 2025 as Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) Awareness Month in Wisconsin
-
EDS encompasses 13 inherited connective tissue disorders affecting approximately 1 in 5,000 people, causing overly flexible joints, hyperextensible skin, and fragile body tissues
-
No cure exists for EDS or HSD; treatment focuses on symptom management and often requires multiple medical specialists across different areas
-
Access to knowledgeable EDS/HSD professionals is limited in Wisconsin, and lack of awareness hinders diagnosis, management, and research
-
Encourages Wisconsin citizens to observe the awareness month to help improve lives of those living with these conditions
