A member asked:

In ehlers danlos syndrome people get autonomic dysfunction. people say due to stretchy veins. can these get stretchy over time? never had issue before

Complicated: Ed is not predominately an autonomic dysfunction, but actually a defect in the tissues making up such parts as blood vessels. I would not anticipate this increasing over time, so other explanations should be sought.

Not true: That is all untrue. Autonomic dysfunction is not more common and has nothing to do with veins. There can be internal organ issues but that is a connective tissue issue.
