Not contagious at all.

Absolutely not

No. It is inherited though. You can pass it down to your children, so people with EDS have an ethical obligation to not have children. It's really cruel to knowingly expose a child to EDS.

Ehlers- Danlos is genetic. It is in the genes.
Your children may have it and if they do they may have it worse than you or mild.
You may start of with mild or no comorbid symptoms and then something triggers it and what was once mild is not interfering with your quality of life.
It is progressive and it is debilitating for many. We look young on the outside but our insides age much faster than it should.
