Post I'm officially Diagnosed
Ok so I'm officially diagnosed as H-EDS, my rhumey saw all my funny joints, and saw where I dislocated my knees, and wrists, and all the small little places that I do... and that I score a 9 on the beighton scale... so I'm officially a bendy...

he said that since I'm pg not much can be done right now, but pp I am to go back under pain management care, and back to pt to keep my joints nice a strong...

he said unless my knees get really bad, I wont need OT for a while...

So there ya go...

he also thinks I'm going to end up with a Lupus diagnosis as well, but my ANA is still low/negative, so were ok on that front for the time being...

Thanks for ya'lls replys and spoons... right now I really need them! I am so tired all the time because of this pg... I really can barely function... and I'm not on any of my pain meds, but I'm thinking that I wont be able to tough it out once the second trimester hits and the risk of issues is lessened that I might start them back up again to get some comfort for at least some of this pregnancy!!
