i want to know how often you get infections an what type of EDS you have an if its a really common thing umungst us EDS people as all my doctors say that all my infections are from the vascular EDS.
i am only asking this because i am finding that my main problem at the moment other then my joints dislocating at their own free will at the most random times, is that i am developing a range of infections an it just seems to keep going on. i have both hypermobile and vascular and both are on the extreme ends an i am just wondering how common it is amungst us to get infections and that. i am currently fighting a so called chest infection and skin infection as well as a infection in one of my hurt fingers which i ruptured the tendon in. you can see why i want to know. an these are not the first this year. they are in fact the 27th, 28th and 29th infection this year alone an trust me this year has been very tame with infections. last year i had a lot more by this year.

Sinus infections probably are common, because of sinus blockage common in EDS. I struggled with that for years. Lately I've had other types of infections, basically skin-related. I think some of it is related to poor functioning of veins, leading to reduced circulation, which reduces the body's ability to fight invaders in those places. Not for me currently, but there could be a vitamin D component to infections, with EDS people who aren't careful about it not getting enough from the sun, being holed up at home.
