CEDSA offes general and child centric information as well as a wallet ID card with patient registry linking medical providers to information about your specific type. This can be especially helpful for protecting parents from child abuse allegations. - TCAPP.org – The Coalition Against Pediatric Pain has resources for children and their parents. We list it here because chronic pain is one of the most troublesome manifestations of EDS.
- DINET.org – Dysautonomia Informaion Network is included here because many patients with EDS also suffer from dysautonomia (dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system).
