Hi Rebecca,
Hey 6 months isn’t bad to get a diagnosis (only kidding, I know you’ve been suffering much longer!) but I know you were considering EDS, when you posted back in March. I think what the Mild EDS might mean, is that you haven’t got blatant signs. I am one of those people too. I don’t have stretchy skin, I don’t have hypermobile joints, or dislocations/subluxations – but there is an underlying fault to my collagen production, it would seem and somethings causing me a lot of problems.

It would be good if the geneticist could shine some light on your particular cause (though half of the time, they only check to rule out EDS IV)
Regards
