Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Support Group

I take 2000 mg of Ester-C a day and it has done wonders for me. In addition to EDS I also have Addison's Disease which requires me to be on prednisone probably for the rest of my life. The Ester-C fits in well because not only does it combat the high blood pressure and poor immune strength caused by chronic steroid use, it has reduced my overall inflammation and pain. I wasn't aware that it is recommended for collagen support. My husband found a Harvard-Stanford double-blind study that found definite anti-inflammatory benefits of Vitamin C. My kidneys are shot from taking to many NSAIDS, so I hadn't been on any anti-inflammatories for a couple years. Vitamin C has definitely helped on that front. As for causing hypotension, I still take my bp meds along with the Ester-C and I've been completely stable and in normal range. So, who knows?
