There are a lot of symptoms that go along with EDS. There are also a lot of different types of EDS with some different characteristics. With one most people are born with dislocated hips, one involves the heart/aorta, one has the stretchy skin, and there are more. Anybody who wants to read about EDS should visit the EDS website. They have a lot of litarature about it that tells everything you want to know about EDS - well everything the doctors have found out so far anyway.

I have a lot of the same problems you have - especially the joint problems. I roll over at night and dislocate my ankle, knee, or hip usually. But then I can just move wrong and dislocate any of my joints. Everyone who has EDS needs to find out what type they have. I've seen a lot of people on tv that can stretch their skin or turn their joints in a weird way (like the guy on America's Got Talent the other night was able to turn his feet completely around backwards) so I wonder if there's more people with EDS than they say. The numbers have increased from 1 in like 10,000 to 1 in 5,000 I think. I just think there are a lot of undiagnosed cases. A lot of people in my family including my dad and grandmother have symptoms but neither have ever been diagnosed and neither's symptoms were ever as severe as mine have been.
