ABOUT DR. GOLDER WILSON
MD, PhD & Compassionate Genetic Counselor
Dr. Golder Wilson is a board-certified medical geneticist who became interested in EDS after 40 years of experience with syndromes involving intellectual disability, birth defects, and autism. After scholarship yielding 100 articles and 4 books on ~25,000 patients with the latter disorders, he has described the clinical and DNA findings of 2000-plus EDS patients in another 20 articles and a recent book available at The DNA of Ehlers-Danlos and Long COVID19 Syndromes: Healing Their Flexibility, Fatigue, and Fear: 9798313797625: Medicine & Health Science Books at Amazon.com.
A key part of this scholarship is the development of systematic history and physical forms that survey 120 typical findings of EDS and related disorders, a holistic assessment that allows patients with EDS-dysautonomia symptoms to recognize the underlying medical causes of their illness and to have comprehensive rather than partial diagnoses like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, stress, or—worst of all—psychosomatic or drug-seeking disease.
Patients dismissed or delayed in treatment by physicians unacquainted with EDS or put off by esoteric EDS type-casting can now learn how their tissue laxity causes vessel distensibility, lower body blood pooling, cerebral deficiency, and the reactive autonomic imbalance of POTS (faints, fear, fatigue, fog, tachycardia) and MCAS (rashes-hives, asthma, allergy) due to adrenergic (fight-or-flight) excess plus IBS (irregularity, reflux, nausea) due to cholinergic (rest-and-digest) suppression.

SUSPECT HYPERMOBILITY?
STEP 1
Self evaluate symptoms (as shown) to first recognize the possibility of EDS, then worry about rare findings and types once testing is determined if recommended.
STEP 2
Consider genetic testing. We can help you locate a service and assist with insurance (if covered).
STEP 3
Contact Dr. Wilson for review and documentation evidence to take to your physician.
