Welcome To EDS-Kids
EDS Kids is a support group and community dedicated to helping children and young adult who suffer from chronic pain resulting from illnesses and genetic conditions like Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS for short) is a genetic connective tissue disorder which primarily causes chronic joint pain and joint dislocations. EDS Kids is a community dedicated to helping not only sufferers of EDS but their family and friends too.
We encourage all our members to post as often as they'd like (but to post at least once every 90 days to avoid deletion of membership), and help build a community for each other. Here are a few simple ground rules to help make this an enjoyable experience for everyone:
1. No Cursing / Foul Language
2. No "Bashing" Other Members
If a problem arises with another member, please report the issue immediately to a moderator. (Moderators are: xxBrittany, SunsetParadise19, stacekins, johnna, and ReineDeLaSeine14) They will handle the situation as quickly as possible. Do not attempt to resolve the issue yourself, as it may escalate the situation.
3. No soliciting of any kind.
Please do not post advertisements or links to your website, personal product, service, or any site that involves sales of any kind.. Links will be removed from signatures and posts when found.
4. Please be careful of posting personal information.
