My PCP in Seattle told my I have EDS about a year and a half ago. No confirmation of the dx, but pretty sure I have type 3.

About 4 years ago I had a little girl, and got HUGE ugly stretch marks-they are still the smae size and don't seem to be shrinking at all(some of them are over an inch wide, and the skin seems to be damaged)-could this be from the EDS?

" YES! - I have tons of stretch marks but they are not as wide as yours. however I was told by someone in the know that they had seen stretchmarks as wide as a palm on some people with EDS.

Bio oil helps a lot! Expensive but good. "
