Healing too fast ... EDS and Acromegaly

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am trying to find information about <A

7 & clickedItemRank=1 & userQuery=Acromegaly & clickedItemURN=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.niddk.n\

ih.gov%2Fhealth%2Fendo%2Fpubs%2Facro%2Facro.htm " >Acromegaly</A> and

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

(EDS). I finally found the below -- and it is not exactly in layman's terms.

Actually, I am trying to find if anyone out there has <<<EDS AND Acromegaly>>>

.. Or, perhaps my too fast metabolism is the result of my Autonomic

Dysfunction. Either way my collagen problem is that of healing TOO FAST. Perhaps

not

correctly, but too fast. At least two surgeons and my dental surgeon said this.

I

heal too fast I am told. So I end up with massive adhesions after surgery.

But that same scar can rupture later. Caro.

or

Cutaneous extensibility in health and disease.

Grahame R, Harvey W.

The results are recorded of a number of studies performed over the last few

years using a simple and reproducible method for investigating the

extensibility of intact skin. A major advantage of this method lies in the fact

that it

causes the patient no discomfort and leaves his skin without blemish. We have

found abnormal behaviour of skin in response to applied stress in the heritable

connective tissue disorders: EHLERS-DANLOS Syndrome, cutis laxa, and

pseudoxanthoma elasticum, and in the acquired disorders of ACROMEGALY,

hypopituitarism

and scleroderma. An abnormal elastic modulus, however, was found only in

pseudoxanthoma elasticum and the growth-hormone disorders.
