ways eds shows up for me

other than a confirmed hEDS diagnosis

  • joint hypermobility in like, literally every joint
  • joint subluxation particularly in hips/SI joints/shoulders
  • 9/9 beighton scale
  • positive walker sign
  • a positive steinberg sign so positive a doctor wanted to take a picture
  • joint pain
  • muscle pain
  • abdominal pain
  • muscle spasm
  • resistance to local anesthetics
  • atrophic scars
  • stretch marks in atypical stretch mark locations
  • not knowing where my limbs are in space
  • difficulty isolating muscles
  • having to wear shoes with a ton of support otherwise i’m in pain for days or my SI joints sublux
  • posture issues
  • kyphosis
  • fatigue
  • headaches
  • lightheadedness
  • random blurred vision
  • lots of eye floaters
  • flu symptoms days after exercise aka post-exertional malaise (PEM)
  • so many digestive issues
  • reflux
  • slow stomach emptying
  • ibs (the combination kind)
  • bloating
  • therefore, food restrictions
  • heavy periods
  • painful cramps
  • arachnodactyly
  • piezogenic papules of the heel
  • dislocating my shoulder as a kid
  • doing the splits as a kid
  • f*cking autism AND adhd

things i’m convinced are eds related

  • being able to lick my nose
