The Ehlers-Danlos / Arachnoiditis Connection

At the turn of this century Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and adhesive arachnoiditis (AA) were considered rare medical diseases. In the past two decades both diseases have apparently increased, and to have both diseases in one individual is surprising. This book explains how the two diseases may connect and the terrible consequences when development may occur. Severe neurologic impairments, intractable pain, incapacitation, a bed-bound state, and a premature death may all result. Persons with both diseases often commit suicide. All parties concerned with the EDS-AA connection including the tragic individual who has it, the family, and medical practitioners need to fully understand the measures required to bring about some merciful treatment. Above all, this book points the way to prevent the EDS-AA connection.
