Hi Terry,
Sound like my situation. I am 52 in a couple of weeks and I was diagnosed at 50
after 14 different ortho surgeries. I kept telling the Drs that something had
to be wrong with me... I was just too healthy to be having all these things go
wrong with my joints.

I'm out here if you need to chat.

Hi,

I'm a 46-y.o. male, just joined. I was diagnosed with EDS a few
years ago on a visit to an ortho, but never thought much of it. Now
an assortment of joint and soft-tissue injuries and ailments have
mounted up to the point where I have a lot of discomfort and I'm
seeking more info and any treatment options.

I need to catch up on some reading first, it looks like.

Cheers to all,

Terry
