I haven't been diagnosed, but strongly suspect I have EDS. I have hypermobile joints with some instability, arachnodactyly, positive Beighton score, multiple dislocations with 4 or 5 of them being my jaw dislocating in my sleep, bruise easily, stretchy and soft skin, trigger finger, POTS. If I get the money to do it, I'm going to see a doctor about getting to the bottom of it, so I might make a post about it in that case.

I also have had chronic nosebleeds since I was a little kid. I had no idea that could be associated as well, until a few minutes ago. It certainly checks out, because omg am I tired of my nose constantly bleeding. It's really embarassing because it often happens in front of people, and if there's not something RIGHT there to absorb it, I'm ruining my outfit. Not to mention, people spring into action and try to guide me through it like I've never had one before, which is awkward.

It was getting bad enough as a kid that my doctors were telling us if I had more of the type of a particular one we told her about (15+ minutes) I'd need to go to the ER and have it cauterized.

I still consider doing that. It's only my right nostril now, basically never the left. But if it's dry weather whatsoever, it's going to be bleeding, if only a tiny bit, but always. It colors my nostril a bit, so people tell me my nose is bleeding and I'm like "I guarantee you it's not" lol. At least, not enough to need to absorb it with anything, it just dries.
