I think i might have hEDS

So, I have hypermobility in most of my joints (one time i twisted my leg in a way that made the school nurse spooked). for the most part i was a cool party trick, but as I'm growing up, its starting to impact me a lot more. running and jumping as become way more difficult to me, and i feel fatigue whenever i stand up. I've been going out the house less because I'm so tired. my wrists hurt so much when i draw/write for a long time and it felt genuinly painful when a picked up a small dumbbell. 


because of these symptoms, i tried to look into the cause and i believe it to be hEDS. it seems likely as heds is quite common with autistic people (8% have it) and i share a lot of these symptoms. I've kept this suspicion to myself for half a year, but now i feel certain enough to go to the doctor. i hope i get diagnosed now, whilst I'm relatively young, so it doesn't cause complications if a need a unrelated surgery later in life. 

wish me luck ig, because the uk healthcare system sucks.
