Please add your “signs of EDS” to the comments – I know there are tons more…
You know you have EDS when you break out in bruises and you don’t know why. You know you have EDS ( poor proprioception and poor sensory processing) when you accidentally bump into walls or furniture; or bang your head on a cupboard door…or a car door…break a toe when you accidentally stub your foot on furniture or a treadmill. If a doctor ever decides to x-ray my toes, skull, or feet, he will probably see multiple hairline fractures. I’ve already made jaws drop when I went to see a physical therapist…he was analyzing my gait and seemed surprised that I could walk at all. ;-D
