Rach~I know your question regarding ansthesia wasn't directed towards me, but it struck a nerve.In the past, I've had to have three or four shots before I even get numb enough for the dentist to work on me. Luckily, I haven't had too much dental work.

Is there a good article either of you can point me to for the criteria for EDS?

I can bend my thumbs all the way to my inner arms, I can turn my wrists all the way around pointing down while my arms are turned up. My shoulders pop out of socket as do my knees. I have Osteo arthritis in my knees.. with pain and swelling.

Thanks for all of the info and again for starting this thread!
