One of these complications is pyelonephritis, meaning: “(from Greek πύελο|ς pýelo|s, "basin" + νεφρ|ός nepʰrós, "kidney" + suffix -itis suggesting "inflammation")”8.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Looking back, there were a lot of things that made more sense following my diagnosis with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, commonly referred to as EDS. This is a rare genetic condition separated into six different types; Classical, Hypermobility, Vascular, Kyphoscoliosis, Arthrochalasia, amd Dermatospraxis.
