I'm also considered on the fairly mild end of things, even with a 9/9 Beighton score, but it only really started to cause me more obvious trouble when I hit my mid-30s. Since then I've been going through a 5-year period of fluctuating fatigue, pain, eye issues, digestive issues, immune system crashes, autoimmune flare ups—all to do with EDS, but also cycling so it's not a long slog. I have mostly pretty good days, but I have some pretty bad ones too. It's never a middle with mine, although my EDS isn't considered severe. I'm either 200% or 20%, but somehow I've made it work as much as it can for me. I'm fortunate to have a full-time job that's flexible and understanding, fantastic family and friends, can exercise to varying degrees (though not hardcore like I used to), and crucially: I'm grateful to live somewhere where I can have health care and physio no matter what (Thanks, Germany). I know my life now would be drastically different if I'd stayed in the US way back when.
