newbie!

[kirstyann]

hi every1! just thought id say a big hello to you all and share a little information about myself.

my name is kirsty and im 22 years old. after being pushed from pillar to post since i started having problems at about age 7 i was diagnosed with hypermobility syndrome by professor bird in 2004 which then changed to eds hypermobility type in around 2005/6.
i suffer dislocations of many of my joints and have had double fusions in both of my feet (mid foot not ankle).

I gave birth to my son in july 2010 with no major problems and as yet he is showing no signs of eds (thank god) but everyday i keep my fingers crossed for him!

hope you are all ok, and if you have any questions at all, please fire away!

xx kirsty xx

welcome Kirsty to the boards.

I hope you find them of help and find the advice/ information reassuring. please do not be put off by some of the discussion threads, it can appear overwhleming and completely depressing but we dont all have the vast problems listed here and I promise the majority of us are happy people with active lives!

have a look at our memberships as well..we currently have a membership deal on.

Hiya,

Welcome to the boards. Have a good search around on here there are threads on every subject under the sun. Keep in mind that people tend to post when they are at their lowest ebb or first trying to get diagnosed and less so when everything is going well.

Whereabouts do you live? We have local groups which you can access if you become a member of the HMSA, I'm the group leader for the Teesside and Durham group. There is a list of the groups on the main HMSA website. These are great as you get to meet other bendies face to face and have a rant and compare funny stories.
