I was diagnosed with EDS at 40 also, btw, and with ADHD in my teens. Hang in there!
@Alice27 quite the combination
Check out the book Disjointed, it's all about hEDS (if that's the kind you have). There's a lot on autonomic dysfunction (abnormal stress response) and how it mimicks ADHD and mood disorders.
@Alice27 they are assuming hEDS

Now things, not nothings. LOL thanks speech to text!
I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid but my ehlers-danlos diagnosis didn't come until my early forties as well. It's so weird that they're comorbidities! Nothing's will start to make sense and you'll understand and forgive yourself a little more. Hopefully since you're over the hill like me you will also hold people accountable for being jerks about it.

@Sunshine79 I’m most sad I didn’t know before my mom died because she definitely had it and I wish she would have had better quality of life.
I'm in my 30's and just found out as well! 😅 It's really affirming in a way, because I finally have an answer, but it's a lot to take in... It seems like it's all about being aware of EDS as the root cause for certain health issues, and just managing what you've got. 💝

@InconclusiveResults I totally get it being affirming. Definitely signs throughout my life that were essentially ignored…
