Ta very much for the help. (And you'll be pleased to hear the doc referenced EDS within a few minutes).Anomnibusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-86815632500182818362010-01-08T21:58:19.241+00:002010-01-08T21:58:19.241+00:00Turns out (suspicions confirmed by doc last week) ...Turns out (suspicions confirmed by doc last week) my daughter (aged 5) is hypermobile, soring 9/9 on the Beighton scale. The doc was not overly concerned - probably because she too was hypermobile and they ended up comparing elbows and thumbs. The doc recommended a career in gymnastics (for my daughter not me).Anomnibusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-66864848435736006322010-01-08T21:02:20.168+00:002010-01-08T21:02:20.168+00:00They're not that unusual at all, I don't t...They're not that unusual at all, I don't think, at least I seem to know a disproportionate amount of people with connective tissue disorders. However, most aren't negatively affected to any great degree - they're just a little bit slack. I think the more extreme end of the spectrum is still fairly unusual.<br /><br />But yes, my partner's brother (and I think uncle) have Marfan's, my partner has a lot of the traits (typical Marfan's stature, skin tears, IBS, varicose veins etc - but his heart is fine). Another friend has reasonably severe EDS, and two others are pretty hypermobile. I only have 8 friends!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704508224138628442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-16782156366787157462010-01-08T17:00:14.424+00:002010-01-08T17:00:14.424+00:00My youngest son has some hyper

I'm married to a man with Marfan syndrome, and I didn't know he hd it until after we were married.BubbleGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00932935674980101062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-74027342687805457192010-01-08T14:40:22.756+00:002010-01-08T14:40:22.756+00:00Awesome.
