HK, that was how it was for me. I never thought much about my flexibility and the rest seemed like unrelated annoying peculiarities. It wasn't until some symptoms got worse after my second child that I started complaining about them more. My friend has Marfans and mentioned looking into a connective tissue disorder. At the same time Lori H. was on here talking about her son's struggles. I mentioned my symptoms to my pediatrician sister in law and she urged me to get myself and my oldest son in to see a geneticist. I was diagnosed in the spring and my son has appointment next week.
