SJR39,1,2
1
Relating to:
declaring May 2025 as Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and Hypermobility
2
Spectrum Disorders Awareness Month.
SJR39,1,6
3
Whereas, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of 13 inherited
4
connective tissue disorders that together affect 1 in 5,000 people. Each type of EDS
5
has its own set of symptoms, but some features are seen across all types of EDS,
6
including overly flexible joints, hyperextensible skin, and fragile body tissues; and
SJR39,1,9
7
Whereas, hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) are inherited connective
8
tissue disorders similar to EDS that cause overly flexible and unstable joints,
9
injury, and pain; and
SJR39,1,12
10
Whereas, persons with EDS and HSD often have fatigue, headaches,
11
gastrointestinal problems, abnormal blood pressure and heart rate, and other
12
symptoms that interfere with function and quality of life; and
SJR39,2,2
13
Whereas, there is no cure for any type of EDS or HSD. The conditions are
14
managed by addressing a person’s symptoms. EDS and HSD can cause a variety of
1
symptoms in many different areas of the body, so people with these conditions may
2
require multiple providers in different specialties to manage their care; and
SJR39,2,6
3
Whereas, access to professionals who are knowledgeable about EDS and HSD
4
is limited in Wisconsin. Lack of awareness about EDS and HSD in Wisconsin and
5
across the world stands in the way of the diagnosis, management, and research of
6
these conditions; and
SJR39,2,9
7
Whereas, awareness of EDS and HSD by both medical professionals and the
8
general public can help improve the lives of people living with EDS and HSD in
9
Wisconsin; now, therefore, be it
SJR39,2,12
10
Resolved by the
senate
, the
assembly
concurring, That
Wisconsin hereby
11
declares May 2025 as Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and Hypermobility Spectrum
12
Disorders Awareness Month and encourages its citizens to observe the same.
