LOL I just realized that I screwed myself here because there are at least three boxes that apply to us:

Peter is hypermobile with low tone. Siobhan is hypermobile with normal tome and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome runs in our family (and they have it).

I really started this poll because I know quite a few kids on the board are hypermobile and I wanted to get an idea if if might be soley because of low tone, or -...I don't know... Maybe some underlying factor?

This is interesting...the first article is pretty much what I've always thought about as far as hypermobility--those typical "double-jointed" type of things...but the second one that talks about lower body issues

Hollyn,
I wasn't diagnosed with EDS until I was 38 or 39yo and had had kids. I am the first in my family to be formally diagnosed, but it is obvious to me that at least two of my sisters have it (one was DXed with ypermobility syndrome in the UK) and many other family members.
