Though let me be clear, many of these are actually common comorbidities still, and none of them is truly diagnostic alone. Allergies and sensitivities or MCAS (a form of MCAD)īut I keep finding so many additional common signs and symptoms that people exhibit, that I felt them worthy of another post so am hatching this one.Anxiety, depression and Autism Spectrum (and ADHD now, 2021).I wrote about my top five ways to suspect hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome a couple of years ago.

These have all been folded into either the newly sharpened EDS criteria, or the new categories of Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders for those who don’t meet the tightened diagnostic criteria for hEDS (the most common form of EDS by far) as of Mafor any reason but exhibit a lot of the following issues just the same, indicating some kind of systemic connective tissue disorder, after all clear ones have been excluded. Prior to Mawe spoke of six main forms of EDS only, and some additional hypermobility syndromes (HMS, JHS, BJHS) which seemed to share a lot of overlap and confused everyone.
