Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome tee
A collagen disorder affecting roughly 1 in 5000 people to varying degrees. There are 4 "most common" types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS): Classical 1 & 2, Hypermobile and Vascular. Because collagen is like the glue that holds the human body together, people with EDS almost always show marked joint hypermobility, eg. "double-jointedness". In its severe form, EDS causes frequent dislocations, because there is very little holding joints in place. Tendons, ligaments, skin and internal tissues can be amazingly stretchy, but this also creates weakness, so sufferers' skin usually bruises, cuts and scars easily, as well as being unusually sensitive to heat and sunburn. Also, because our eyes are composed predominantly of collagen, sufferers are often short-sighted and have a high risk of glaucoma later in life. The Classical types embody all of these symptoms. Type 1 is the name given to the more chronic cases, while Type 2 refers to those with less severe symptoms. The Classical and Hypermobile types are very similar, however the Hypermobile type has loose joints as its most chronic symptom. Skin and organ problems are less severe in this type. Building lean muscle to protect and strengthen joints can greatly improve symptoms and reduce dislocations, while still allowing for increased mobility. In the Vascular form, EDS affects the walls of veins and arteries, making them thin and extremely fragile. The vast majority of sufferers of this type die from cardiovascular complications before the age of 50. It is also important to note that sufferers of the other 3 types are also at risk of cardiovascular problems. For more information, contact the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome National Foundation (EDNF)

Customer Reviews
Great shirt, great service. A big thumbs up👍🏻
I always get so many compliments when I wear this (my favorite) shirt. I have been able to give out my phone number to lots of nice old men and my parents think it's great that I have so many nice mentors grooming me into a nice young boy who is willing to "follow the rules ".

Great shirt. Great service. Shopify doesn’t track the shipment accurately though. However, when I reached out to Urban Dictionary customer service, they were able to help me.
Wore it to school.
Love this shirt so much
I love this t-shirt that says morbussy. It allows me to show off both my love for Morbius and the fact that I get no Morbussy.
This shirt feels great, perfect fit too.
Great looking t-shirt. Good quality. Printing looks good.
Cool I didn’t order anything I just have a lot of free time and not a lot of hobbies
Fun and soft.
Good stuff! Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion that this is cursed. You see, whenever i dawn this top-teir, soft, stylish shirt - I proceed to pass out within 46 seconds. The mere act of making contact with the material insues the process of this countdown starting. If I do not quit contact, i will lose conciousness the exact moment the countown hits 0. And when I regain clarity, I find myself in a bathtub - never mine, but a bathtub nevertheless. In the bathtub, there is always various colours of hairdye. I then have to go back home, shirt stained with dye. Very fashionable though! 10/10
