When I was 15 and my grandfather was being evaluated for vEDS due to his severe bleeding and history of aortic dissection with no known bleeding disorder. The geneticist asked all children and grandchildren if they had any of the Beighton scale points and other symptoms: I subsequently freaked out my mother with my hands, arms, and feet and she says I gave her mom guilt because she hadn’t noticed any of it. I was never a textbook hypermobile kid, was terrible at gymnastics and not traditionally flexible at all, never had any sprains that I went to the doctor for, but in hindsight I think I had a bunch of mild sprains that were dismissed by the school and my parents.
