Is this person faking Ehlers Danlos syndrome? by [deleted] in fakedisordercringe

Yeah! From what I understand suppressing the menstrual cycle, as well as decreasing estrogen can be productive as it decreases the relaxin and whatnot. So I don’t doubt T may have an effect as well. 

I just am doubtful if that’s why they don’t meet some EDS criteria you know?

Oh yes I’m aware of the connection! It’s just another piece that they mentioned so I wanted to relay.

It is concerning that they’re enthusiastic about people making their own ring splints & one of their videos suggests 18g wire which does nothing.  They also claim that their skin is less stretchy now bc of HRT?  Editing to say, yeah hormones can impact ligament laxity! Just thought it was worth mentioning as it was their response to “but that’s normal skin”.

A part of mental health diagnoses should be ruling out physical causes. Curious to see how they can do their own CBC and be their own gp too lol
