Sleep

We need sleep but it hurts to lay down, it hurts to stand, it hurts to sit. If you lay on your back your si joints are going out of place, your side and your shoulders, hips and knees go out, your stomach and it’s your neck and shoulders!!! Very frustrating and so very tired and hurting so bad. I just want to sleep for longer than 3 or 4 hours at a time. #bendy #HEDS #Sleep #sotired #Everythinghurts

I’ve have zig-zazzy auras that are fascinating to watch, and on occasion I’ll get a migraine after seeing one, but not always. Is this a problem?

Is it only me?

I have #Fibromyalgia , #HEDS , #POTS , and other issues. There are days when I feel amazing! Then, other times, I have almost constant symptoms. I can deal with those mostly.

It's when I have different symptoms that I worry. For example, I'm currently experiencing leg weakness, backache and some abdominal pain. I'm scared it's because of something serious.

Am I the only one who worries that something could be seriously wrong but can't know for sure because all the worrisome symptoms can actually be explained by any of the many diagnosed health issues we have? I never know what symptoms to tell my doctor about. I don't know what's normal and what isn't.

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is BendyGrandma. I'm here because I am pending diagnosis of hEDS. I was recently diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis due to being HLA-B27 positive, but I don't have the horrible back pain they speak of. I am extremely hypermobile and have dislocated my knee 7 times as well as my jaw and occasionally sublex both shoulders. #hlab27 #HEDS #MightyTogether #Anxiety

Difficulty urinating

#HEDS

I am having difficulty urinating. Somewhere I read those with hEDS have trouble metabolizing water? Has anyone else had this problem?

Foot pain and EDS

New fun pain thing:my feet. No idea what changed but no shoe is comfortable anymore. My PT told me a while back that I have EDS feet and would likely need bunion surgery. I had hoped I had longer and really don't want another surgery. Has anyone has this issue or have any advice? #bendybunch #HEDS #footpain
