It is possible to have hypermobility syndrome and just hypermobility syndrome, yes? I have scored DS on some of these criteria and he certainly is very hypermobile indeed (knees, ankles, elbows, wrists, and some finger joints). But, no skin involvement at all that I can see, as I say.

I'm going to get DS checked, but my DH is feeling anxious about the EDS possibility. frown DS is actually quite athletic, so he feels really bummed at the idea that athletics might be risky or cause him pain or frequent dislocations, not to mention the other possibilities. We had a very stressful babyhood with DS due to many doctors being alarmed about his very low tone and I have always thought that we would one day find "something else," personally...
