Maybe I will post in the Carnivore Diet thread, but Gaby and any others with EDS issues, what are your symptoms if you don't mind sharing?
You can find all the criteria here:

I was asked by a rheumatologist to run the Beighton score in a teenager as a screen test, and that's how I realized I was a textbook case when I checked 9 out of 9 in the score and found at least 5 or 6 clinical criteria for the syndrome. Plus the pains, luxations, etc. I always had the sense of having conjunctive tissue problems, I just didn't know I was a match for this particular syndrome. In my mind, Ehler Danlos label should be given only to those with the vascular kind when the aorta gets so big that people live only until their 50s due to aortic dissection/ruptures. This hypermobile version should be called conjunctive tissue disorder or something or other. They might change the names in a few years.
I got checked by an Ehler Danlos specialist, and he even found stuff I didn't know, like the bilateral piezogenic papules of the heel, and other stuff relating to my nervous system. For instance, if you separate all the fingers in your hand and someone tries to forcefully close them, I can resist the maneuver just fine. But if you touch the skin in my shoulder, that's it, I can't resist. Like a failed kinesiology test where you don't have muscle force.
I check all the autonomic imbalances, but the most incapacitating this year for me is the fatigue, which I qualify as severe. Specially after any minor stress like a head cold of less than 24 hours without fever. I was prescribed oxygen at high flow, 3 to 4 times per day, for my fatigue. It works like a charm! The HBOT usually makes me feel even more tired for at least a few dozen sessions before I finally have energy. With the high flow oxygen, the energy arrives within seconds.
Medical history turned out a textbook case: luxations, mastocytosis, neuropathic pains, etc. I'm getting a bunch of tools to improve my proprioception. I might finally stop stumbling against doors and walk in a more grounded way.
I'm attaching an article describing the syndromes of the extracellular matrix/joint hypermobility. I think it's applicable to 2-3% or more of the population with genetic anomalies coding at this level. Whether hypermobility or not, it gives an idea of how to take care of the conjunctive tissue and related low dopamine problems, among others.
