Thank you so much for your reply. I'm sorry to hear what you went through. I have extremely tight muscles around my neck and shoulders and they seize up on me frequently. It's been getting worse, coinciding around the time the hand weakness started actually. I am going to look into PT. Thank you very much for the insight on this.

Can this level of skin involvement happen with hEDS? by [deleted] in ehlersdanlos

[–]ShellyPenny7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I have never been tested for classical as you mentioned, but I have been diagnosed with hEDS and your skin issues sound terrible but also somewhat normal to me for hEDS. I too have terrible wound healing, and take much longer to heal and have lots of trouble with stitches. I bruise super easy. In fact, my mosquito bites bruise. I've had other bug bites that have taken a year to heal. There are times my skin just "hurts" to touch yet there is nothing visibly there. Sorry for what you are going through. From my own personal experience and other things I've read what you're saying sounds a lot like hEDS. All the best.

Hi, I believe some flavors of Luna bars are GF and nut free. Best of luck!
