What are the manifestations associated with eds?

EDS: Excessive daytime sleepiness is exactly that. People typically will be tired during the day, fall asleep easily during activities that they should not falls asleep and may have a hard time staying awake while driving. It is also the diagnosis we typically use for patients so that they can qualify for a sleep study when we have concerns about sleep apnea. Sleep studies can be $2-4k tests.

Too many to list: Eds is a group of disorders with at least 10 different subtypes. The manifestations depend on what subtype you may have. Ultimately, individuals with eds have issues with their skin, joints and blood vessels.
