What was the name of that syndrome/condition that is indicated by hyperflexible joints?
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Thanks. Time to play pin the tail on the symptom and see what matches on Hubby.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
You may want to also check out Hypermobility Syndrome symptoms, which is what I believe I have. Less serious than EDS, but still painful and a PITA.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My doctor isn't quite sure what to call what I have. There's a list of specific joint ranges of motion where it's officially Ehlers Danlos if you've got more than a certain number of those, and I don't, but I do have really extremely wide range of motion in a bunch of joints that the test doesn't measure. I've also got minor skin involvement and mitral valve prolapse, which pretty much all adds up to not fitting neatly into any diagnosis.
There's also some debate among doctors about whether Hypermobility Syndrome and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome - Hypermobility Type are actually the same thing or not, and the classifications have changed several times, and so what I have really depends on what doctor is examining me at the time.

Wow. Good luck and health luck~ma, Hil.
I can understand how this must be very frustrating to you.

Oh, and what I thought a few days ago might be a wisdom tooth coming in? Definitely a wisdom tooth coming in. Hard to tell for sure yet, but it seems to be crooked. I really hope it doesn't have to be removed.

Hil, just don't get my DH's mutant teeth. 5 roots on the last root canal.
Futless day here. I've done a bit, but nothign that seems to equal the energy I have.
