EDS (Ehler-Danlos Syndrome)
Shannon Rose was born with a life-threatening syndrome known as EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome); the illness has no cure. EDS is a connective tissue disorder involving collagen mutations.
There are six versions of EDS. All of them are under-diagnosed, and an estimated 60-70% of the deadly Vascular EDS are undiagnosed entirely.
For Rose, he’s fortunate enough to not have the Vascular EDS conditions, but has not avoided the symptoms of this ailment. At the age of 12, both of Shannon’s arms became paralyzed and he lost the use of his voice for a year.
Through therapy, long hospital stays and the will to thrive, Rose managed to regain the use of his arms and voice.
