'It is time to stop vaping': 6th US death linked to lung illness

diseases No Comments »

The United States government is probing 450 cases of vaping-related lung illness across 33 states and one US territory.
But the nationwide investigation led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet linked the illnesses to any specific e-cigarette product.
Al Jazeera’s John Hendren reports from Chicago.

The Worst Symptoms of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome || EDS Awareness Month 2021

diseases No Comments »

it’s that time of year again! EDS & HSD awareness month comes around quick! I’m back for my 5th annual series of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome & Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder Awareness Month videos with my dazzle of zebras from across the world. This year we have 27 zebras with 4 different types of EDS and HSD from 8 different countries sharing their experiences of what it’s like to live with these rarely understood conditions on a daily basis.

This is the first video in the 2021 series and we are talking about the worst symptoms of HSD, hEDS, cEDS & vEDS. From chronic pain and fatigue to dislocations there are huge lists of symptoms around but I want you to hear from people living with EDS on a daily basis what the worst symptoms they face are.

This video is dedicated in loving memory of Saarah Ahmed who wanted to take part in this series but sadly passed away before she could. Saarah lived with a very rare type of EDS called kyphoscoliotic EDS and she always wanted to raise awareness. Her family want her legacy to live on so please visit the links below to learn more about Saarah & her advocacy work.

In this video, five people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome run through the hEDS diagnostic criteria from 2017! Hypermobile EDS is a painful genetic connective tissue disorder that makes connective tissues abnormally weak, fragile, and stretchy, leading to chronic joint and muscle pain, joint instability and dislocations, dysautonomia, fatigue, and GI tract dysmotility, among so many other symptoms. While the diagnostic criteria help to diagnose, it barely scratches the surface of the impact of this disease.

WHAT’S EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME?
The Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes are a group of more than 13 genetic connective tissue disorders that make connective tissue abnormally weak, fragile, and stretchy. Connective tissue is found in all parts of the body, including your organs, ligaments, and joints. As a result, people with EDS can be affected in all of these areas, as well as others. The most common symptoms and co-morbidities include chronic joint pain, dysautonomia, dislocations, GI tract dysmotility, and severe joint instability, among many others. The most common type (and the type that I have) is hypermobile EDS (formerly known as Type III), which is estimated to affect around 1 in every 5,000 people. However, it’s speculated by many to not be as rare as we once believed.

What you need to know to stay safe from ticks and Lyme disease this summer

According to the Centers for Disease Control, as many as 476,000 people in the U.S. contract Lyme disease every year. Climate change and human encroachment into wilderness areas means ticks and the disease-causing bacteria they carry are becoming more common. Dr. Linden Hu, an immunology professor and co-director of the Lyme Disease Initiative at Tufts University, joins John Yang to discuss.
