I’m suspicious I’m hypermobile and I’m thinking that my son has inherited it from me. I think it’s relatively mild for me, although I definitely have some potential symptoms that I’ve brushed off as just being “odd” most of my life. (Exhaustion, fainting, low blood pressure and now some digestive issues now that I’m older).

I’m unsure how to best support my son, getting a diagnosis for it seems like it will be next to impossible, and what will they actually do for him? I want him to have a some ideas about how this may impact him and also some ideas of how to help himself as he gets older. He’s 8 now. Any advice? Help!

Hi it’s me. The parent who has failed to teach their 8 year old to ride a bike. I’m picking one up for him this weekend and I’m already overwhelmed at what to do. Physical strength is not my forte so I need tips geared toward a non toned Mom in her 40s who might be in teetering into menopause. Encouragement is also welcome.
