How did you break your hip, Pieplup? I've been curious for ages but never found the answer. You're pretty young for such an injury, which must have been very painful.


I slipped in water while running and landed on the concrete on my right side. It was painful.
That does indeed sound painful. I did something similar on my bike but all I did was scrape my leg, thankfully. A week to heal. A broken hip would take much longer, I gather.

I have it, for me it mainly causes muscle weakness, joint pain, neurological symptoms like dysautonomia, unstable blood pressure and heartbeat, which leads to dizziness and nearly fainting, also makes my light and sound sensitivity worse, causes brainfog and probably is a cofactor in depression and anxiety.

https://www.edhs.info/about1-cs05 there's interesting info about anxiety and EDS.

I potentially had hEDS, but last year was diagnosed with joint hypermobility spectrum disorder due to the new guidelines. I also have dysautonomia, gut issues, Raynaud's, and other issues often comorbid with hypermobility disorders.
