I think I have EDS 3 but the weird thing is I have the major problem of Hypermobility and my brother has hypermobility too (not as bad as me) but his major problems is very wide scars and my sister who is also hypermobile but again not as bad as me has huge very deep stretch marks. I have joint pains worse than anyone and i dislocate all over where the others only dislocate in one or two joints at most,at least 1 of my brothers daughters is hypermobile and at least 2 of my sisters kids are hypermobile. Is it possible for us all to have EDS or something similar but to have different manifestations or symptoms of this/these dissorders

Yes. I am one of eight family memebers with EDS Type III. While some symptoms are shared by two or more family memebers, others have fewer or different symptoms or differences in severity.

In addition, we each seem to respond differently to different medications.

Good Luck.
