Hypermobile Ehlers\u2013Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is a rare or underdiagnosed hereditary disorder of the connective tissue, and like those with similar diseases, patients with hEDS have begun to turn to social media in search of care and community. The aims of our study were to understand the usage habits and perceptions of utility of social media use for patients with hEDS in order to formulate suggestions for how clinicians may best engage these and similar patient populations about this topic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted both a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews with patients who had received a robust clinical diagnosis of hEDS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010four individuals completed the initial survey, and a subset of 21 of those participants completed an interview. Through thematic analysis, we identified four primary themes related to their experience with social media: (1) befriending others with their disease, (2) seeking and vetting information, (3) the risks and downsides of social media use, and (4) the desire for clinicians to discuss this topic with them.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conclude by proposing five suggestions that emerge empirically from our data.
