Historically, the zebra has been a symbol for rare diseases in the medical community. The EDS community has adopted the zebra as a symbol for the EDS, but there are now many healthcare professionals that believe EDS is not as rare as we once thought.

​

Why does this matter?

​

If EDS is actually more prevalent than originally thought, that means there are many that are going misdiagnosed. For those that have gotten a diagnosis, it most likely took years to finally be properly diagnosed.
