How it is like having 'Stiff ' EDS?

I am just curious on how it is living or getting diagnosed with EDS but not having the typical hypermobiity or flexibility

I am not even sure on how the process looks nor do I want to get diagnosed It just something I am curious about as my joints feel so weak and pop and move around a lot but I am literally the most stiff body out of everyone I know

I am just asking so I can ask my doctor to rule it out

How to get rid of this? Is it harmful?

I saw this in my water bottle rubber ring I have tried soap and leaving it in hot water and tried using a mixture of baking soda

What else can i do?

Should I try putting it in a pot of boiling water to see what would happen ? Or vinegar?

Or should I just give up and get a new rubber ring for my water bottle?

▲ 4 r/POTS

Whenever I mention my issue being postural, the doctors check my blood pressure standing and sitting but i am curious for POTS or dystonomia is it supposed to be taken instantly after I stand up?

Because usually there is a small spike in bp, but they tell me that oh that is normal not a big difference and then make me sit down again and don't take any more bp teste and tell me oh you dont even quality for OH but i know from my own tests that if I wait 5 mins or 10 the difference is insanely dramatic

Is it normal to do it instantly after standing ? Or are the doctors misinformed and I should try to tell them to do it instantly and after a while
