A growing body of evidence is linking heritable disorders of connective tissue, such as Ehlers Danlos Variants, with dysautonomia and mast cell dysfunction, which lead to chronic fatigue, brain fog, irritable bowel symptoms and pain syndromes. Dr. Maitland presented a brief review of the diagnosis and relationships of this clinical triad, MCAD, Autonomic dysfunction, and Disorders of connective tissue or hEDS. A better understanding of these relationships should lead to multi-disciplinary clinical therapies to help right this trio of modern day epidemics.

This program is part of “Sunday Conversations with MassME,” a monthly speaker series with discussion on a wide variety of topics.  For more information on this and future Sunday Conversations presentations, please check out https://www.massmecfs.org/sunday-conv...
