Sharing EDS Treatment Tips

Hi! I saw there weren’t many posts regarding EDS, so I thought I’d share some stuff that has helped me: High dose vitamin C (2 grams/day) SAM-e helps with joint pain/instability and mood regulation Prolotherapy to strengthen joints and lessen joint pain I hope this helps! I’m also always looking for new things to help my EDS — lmk if there’s any others!

Arnica gel really helps my bruises heal faster. Honestly, I didn’t think it would work, but it’s actually pretty impressive, and it feels really good.

^ Love arnica gel too! Layering it with Deep Blue is magical for muscle joint pain and swelling!!

Never heard of Deep Blue before, do you know what's in it?

Olive_Garden thanks for sharing! I also use Vitamin C but in order to reduce the easy bruising. I do physical therapy, low resistance exercise and paying attention to consume more calcium and vitamin D for high bone density:) I heard about Arnica gel and would like to try it as well!

Thanks for sharing! I also recommend Vitamin C and physical therapy. Can you tell me more about Anrica Gel? I've never heard about it before...

deep blue is found on amazon, and the ingredients are mostly essential oils that reduce inflammation externally and arnica gel comes from the arnica flower more commonly known as wolfsbane and has been used for its healing properties for thousands of years. 😊
