Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
May 16, 2009
Today I woke up, ate breakfast, and then turned on my laptop. When I get on the computer I normally have a list of sites I visit, everything from news to social networking sites. When I logged into YouTube today there was a video in the Recommended for you section of a man with huge cheeks. I found this odd because normally in that section there will be videos of Fred(who’s videos I can not stand, and think he is just another little meme), news story’s, bloopers, etc. I had seen this video before, but decided to click on it again just to satisfy my love for all things abnormal or interesting. As I scrolled down throught the comments I saw that someone had described how this is possible, he said that it was a condition called ehlers danlos syndrome. I looked it up and saw that it had everything to do with a persons tissue. Then as I went to pet my dog(a 5 year old poodle) I recalled him always having a lot of skin around his neck. I quickly pulled up Firefox and looked to see if it also affected dogs, to my surprise it did! I thought this was fairly interesting, and thought that it would be nice to share, so there is a link at the bottom that explains it all.
