I have met so many people recently with EDS. I set up a charity for people with autoimmune arthritis and it seems to have flushed out a lot of people who have other kinds of similar problems that unfortunately I was not aware of before and our constitution doesn't cover. I have sero negative arthritis - basically spinal and peripheral joint disease. It affects absolutely everything especially my tendons and ligaments too. I deal with it very well naturally though it hasn't been easy. ESD and hypermobility are all pretty s***. I had consultants tell me I had these problems and fibromyalgia when I couldn't walk for 18 months and basically them saying they couldn't do anything. I suppose in that respect I was lucky when they found out it was the arthritis all along. I know nothing about those other conditions you mention and diet - all I know is it helps me hugely. I am so sorry you are going through all this. I also regularly find I can't use certain things like my hands on My Left Foot. I've no idea what is up. I just try not to stress it anymore. Ive givrn up expecting much from doctors. Xxxxxx
