I also have EDS and set up a blog to raise awareness about EDS and invisible disabilities. Copy and paste the following into your browser hideandseekdisabilities.blogspot.com
These videos actually help ppl who dont have any answers find them. im trying to find out if i have eds, and after seeing this i think i might. as a child i thought it was great fun to dislocate joints because of the reaction i got. now i may be paying for it. take care :)
I have EDS and it drives me nuts watching you do this to yourself. It is not a funny circus trick. It is your body and the only one you will ever have. It might seem amusing to you know, but you will be in more pain and struggle more later. Why increse the damage to your body. Surgery is not fun! So for all of us that do SUFFER from EDS please be respectful and take your body and all that comes with EDS seriously
Please be careful with your joints, each time they pop and dislocate they actually cause a reaction which contributes to osteo-arthritis. I'm speaking from personal experience. Ehlers Danlos is very painful indeed, you might not be in pain now but it hit me like a bus when I turned 20 years old and dislocated my fibula.
I have EDS III. I am 41 and I have been crippled for 2 years. EDS III gene expression was useful when man was evolving and did not live past 35 or 40 y/o. When we are young, we are stronger, faster, and more agile than others. But, the collagen deficiency means the older you get, the faster the degeneration of connective tissue. You will suffer spontaneous subluxations that take 5 times as long to heal. Please, quit hyperextending, and try to do some acrtivity like swimming to stay strong.
I have a mild case of type 3 EDH, Hypermobility but mostly in my fingers. I can almost lay them flat on the back of my hand and my thumbs are pretty flexible too. The last one was freaky O.o
well if thats EDS then i got it BIGTIME i can do all that and much more with just my hands and such watch my vid i got some of my examples there but i found out i have more abilities after i made the vid so not all them are on it
I have EDS too and I am 14 years old. I was wondering what type you have. and I hope you dont show off your EDS like that all the time because it will do more damage than you need to have. I wouldnt WANT it to stretch out to its full ability. please watch my video.
I absolutely cannot stand to see EDSers doing permanent damage w/ the dog & pony show. While you're still young, you obviously don't realize the horrible damage you're creating that WILL catch up as you get older. I'm only 43 & now disabled for life b/c of EDS. I used to have a somewhat normal life, but I helped the EDS along w/ extra stress I put on my body/ joints. Didn't hurt so much then, but now EXTREME PAIN &would be in a wheelchair if I could sit +need a svc dog to do everything for me
With all do respect, I did not set this up to be a "dog and pony show". I understand the potential risks and pain that many EDS sufferers have, and I can imagine that your situation is horrible - but it is an extreme. As it is, my life is almost completely normal when it comes to activities, and I make sure to keep myself limber and active. The worst part is that I am unable to do contact sports. Moreover, I put this video up to restrict myself from doing many of these things in person!
@Rom8n I appreciate your video. I was recently diagnosed with HS and had a hard time finding medical descriptions of EDS the were clear/descriptive enough. Since watching other people's EDS "proofs" if you will, I now know many of the tings I am able to do are not within normal range, like dislocating my thumb and putting my feet behind my head.
It is easier for me to make a video of myself doing this ONCE, versus demonstrating this in person, particularly due to the possible joint damage. Whenever this syndrome is brought up I point them to my video so they can regard it and for me to keep safe.

@barefootgem615 .....I am 18 and I have EDS. I do stuff like this and my body is fine and i've done this since I was three years old. My mother who has it was a contortionist and gymnastics coach and she did this stuff for forty years. Doing stuff like this doesn't automatically give you a "death sentence" of your body being destroyed. It's his life and he can do as he pleases.
There is a large problem in that. Im adopted and have no idea what my last name used to be or where I actually originated. My parents have no idea either.
Oh my friend who is like a year younger than me, she doesn't have that syndrome, but she can put her hands behind her back and then to her front ... it's awesome=)
Nice Micheal! I have a video of you doing that when I was over at your house. I'm coming to see you for thanksgiving I'm in San An with my sisters! Miss you man be blessed!
he could dislocate like a shoulder or a rib or something, depends on where youpunch him. i have eds too and i dislocate at least 4 joints just getting out of bed haha.
When I am particularly athletic my body can be very flexible and "liquid" (to quote a friend). I have not tried anything outrageous (like going into a tiny box or bending over backwards to an awkward degree), but my arms are very flexible and "double jointed", particularly my shoulders.
I used to do it as party tricks but when i heard about people shattering their bones becuase of it. (something about too much stress on them) I stopped instantly. I just warn others. It may seem cool at the time but can damage you for life.
one of my cousin's has EDS. he dislocated his shoulder a couple times doing his little impersonation of what a guy looks like after falling off a 5-story building, and now he can't feel his arm. you should probably not do these types of things too much, as street performers and such do, but if you don't care about the consequences, well then, who are we to judge...
I have EDS type 3 I used to tricks all the time with my legs and arms now I have to permanatly ware braces (the 1200 dollar each kind) and walk with a cane just incase cause my kness wont stop dislocating, Im in so much pain everywhere all the time in all my joints, I wish I listen to my doctor when they told me to stop
be careful with those tricks. i can do them all as well and doctors have diagnosed that if it is done extensively t is possible to suffer from things like arthritis in the future!
Hi Mike, please stop doing these tricks as you will suffer greatly in the future. I have EDS and am speaking from experience. Stay strong, one love ;)x
In about 10 to 20 years there will be a lot more joint pain because of this. I've been told a lot that I wouldn't be in so much joint pain or have as bad of arthritis if I hadn't played with the joints and did things to show off.
It's one of those 'if I knew then what I know now' things. ;)
OMG YOU FUCKING MORON!!!! you know most people with Ehler-Danlos syndrome do not want it!!! i for one have it in most of my family and probably myself.... so go get a job yourself! god
