“I’m not sure whether my thumbs should count for a point on the score. Even the doctor wasn’t sure how to evaluate them and gave me 0.5 points for each thumb. Basically, my thumb does not reach my forearm in a smooth/easy way: first I feel resistance, then with very slight pressure I can make the tip touch my forearm. The doctor told me that generally it should reach easily on its own, but since it does touch with a little pressure, he gave me half a point. I’d like to understand whether that makes sense. I don’t have marked hypermobility and I don’t have a diagnosis; I mostly have snapping tendons, but I was told that this is not considered a criterion.”
