I agree genetic testing is a good idea if you can do it. I have an hEDS diagnosis because nothing showed up on my genetic testing to indicate another subtype. However please keep in mind more genes that play a role in EDS are still being discovered for all subtypes. Due to the emergence of new symptoms since my genetic testing 2 years ago my hematologist is concerned I may have vascular EDS not hypermobile. My genetics doc (I’m in the US and my doc was in Florida at university of Miami genetics) recommended I be retested every 5 years as medical research into EDS and genetics as well as technology for genetic testing evolves.
