There is currently no cure for it, although many doctors do think that a lot more people have it than there are currently known to be, as Ehlers-Danlos can sometimes be unnoticed for years, or even someone's whole life, even today. It can be managed- for example, I am a person with type II (also known of as the Classical type- I and II are NOT the same, and they shouldn't be treated as such), and so instead of wearing skirts and dresses with thin tights (or, shudder, nothing at all) underneath, I wear thicker leggings and don't climb trees. One can't do anything for the dislocations, and the internal types of EDS can't be helped. One can do family planning with a 50% chance (I think...) of it being correct, but if you are against it (can't blame you, I kinda am too), you can't prevent your kids from getting it and having them be yours genetically. People are currently working on finding a cure, although it is almost as close as some of the cures for cancer.
