Can this affect your central nervous system?I was diagnosed with ehlers danlos syndrome (classical type) on 4/3/08. Anyway, I've also been having a lot of gastrointestinal issues, electric shocks, tingling, dizziness, panic attack type symptoms, cognitive problems, etc...Symptoms similar to lyme disease or MS. Anyway, my doc thinks it could be my EDS affecting my CNS. Do you think that could be it? She said there's a team of neurologists in NY who are doing studies on the connection between EDS and the CNS. Thanks!

Don't know anything about EDS.
However, Lyme disease can cause all the symptoms you have mentioned, including gastrointestinal issues.
Good sources of info about Lyme disease:

Though I'm also not familiar w/ this syndrome, the issues you described are a typical "laundry-list" of a disseminated Lyme infection. (tingling in the extremities?..."migrating" symptoms?)
I would go see another doc for a 2nd opinion & ask to have the bloodwork for Lyme tesitng sent to a top-notch lab like MDL in NJ, or IGeneX in CA.
IF it IS determined to be Lyme, you need to start on appropriate abx ASAP to reverse the infection.
Beware: With any spirochetal disease, the recovery process means you will 1st get sicker before you get better, due to symptoms caused by the die-off.
But you WILL get better! Best of luck.
