Anyone else have Shuerman’s Kyphosis?
Hello!
I am currently in the process of getting an hEDS diagnosis! I’ve met with a rheumatologist and meet the diagnostic criteria for and also have an extensive family history on my maternal side of hEDS symptoms. I do however also have Shuerman’s Kyphosis, and it’s bad enough for me to have been recommended surgery. I also have slightly blue scleras. Lately, I’ve been spiraling about the possibility of kEDS because of my kyhosis and blue scleras. To clarify, I do not meet the diagnostic criteria for kEDS when I compare my symptoms to it, have had a genetic test rule out all testable forms of EDS, and my kyphosis onset was with puberty. I just also know that my genetic test was consumer grade and has a lower accuracy than medical grade tests and there can be abnormal presentations. While I sit around and wait for my rheumatologist to get back to me on if she’s concerned about kEDS or not, I wanted to ask if any of you who have had other forms of EDS ruled out through genetic testing also have Shuerman’s Kyphosis or blue scleras?
