Dont discount the adults that have hypermobility disorders...especially those of us who were diagnosed in our mid 50s. There are still tons of people over 50 who have never been diagnosed. There are much fewer EDS/HSD knowledgeable drs in the world. In my area, 1 EDS specialist within 250 mile radius in the capital city.

You are right. We definitely need more knowledgeable healthcare professionals out there
