Welcome to the Ehlers-Danlos Support Group of Southern Maryland!
We’re glad you’re here. This is a peer-led support community for individuals living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS)- all types and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD), along with family, caregivers, and loved ones. Together we have combined different resources we have received and provide them to you within this site. Feel free to Contact Us if you have suggestions or questions.
If you are not already a member of our Private Facebook Group, we recommend you submit your request so you can connect with others in Southern Maryland with EDS/HSD. All are welcome to join our group even if you are not located in our area. If you are not in Southern Maryland but would like to find a support group near you, we recommend you search The Ehlers Danlos Society's Support Group Directory.

Welcome — You’re Not Alone
This space was created for our EDS community as a place to find support, understanding, and connection. Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome can come with many challenges, and it can be hard to know where to turn or what resources are available. That’s why we built this website — to make it easier to find help, information, and community.
Why We’re Here
We believe that support is powerful.
We believe that community makes us stronger.
And we believe no one should have to navigate EDS on their own.
This website is a gathering place — not just for answers, but for compassion, encouragement, and shared experience. Our goal is to connect people with:
• Local and online support groups
• Educational resources
• Tools to help manage symptoms
• Communities that understand
Our Commitment
We are here to lift each other up.
We are here to share knowledge and support.
We are here because we care about this community and every person in it.
Everyone Is Welcome
While this space is created with EDS in mind, all are welcome.
If these resources, support links, or shared experiences can help you — whether you have EDS, a related condition, are caring for someone, or are simply seeking understanding — please feel free to use them.
Support has no boundaries.
Community has no requirement.
You belong here.
