Hey there. A lot of drs are considering EDS and HMS the same thing, just different "levels" of it. HMS being milder. However, since they haven't figured out the gene for either it's hard to be for absolute sure. Dr. Tinkle, one of the leading EDS drs in the US, considers them to be the same. HEDS does have certain symptoms/signs though that I'm not certain sits on the HMS criteria(like high palete, crowded teeth, etc). If you don't find answers with the rheumy, consider speaking with a genetics doc. Amy~ “When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.” ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
