May. 22nd, 2015 04:59 pmOkay so I am *cracking the fuck up*
so I had this revelation a while ago that I might have either EDS or some similar hypermobility, because of things I remember doing as a kid that seemed perfectly normal but apparently aren't, but how the fuck can you tell because I'm basically immobile so any hypermobility tests wouldn't work
...today my mom comes in and we're talking and she mentions something for me to look up... "aylers denforth? I think it's a-h-l--" and I go "e h l, actually. ehlers-danlos." "?????? how do you know about it?" "I have friends that have eds."
and anyway it turns out that, like
both of my mom's sisters have been diagnosed with eds
and several of my cousins on that side
and her mommight have probably had it and just never got diagnosed
and she might have it
and I just kind of lost it laughing
(and then I had to explain why)
but yes. Probability that I actually do have EDS just ratcheted way up.
