I have HMS and since the age of about 14 I have had really bad cellulite. I also get really bad stretchmarks. Does any one else find they are mor prone because of HMM

Well, got the strechmarks and got the cellulite, I am not fat (1m76 and 59kg) but I even have cellulite on my face.

I have HMS and suffer terribly with stretch marks and cellulite and whatever i do i cant get rid of them, i have had very bad cellulite on the backs of my legs since the age of 9, i only need to put a couple of pounds on in weight and end up with very dark red stretch marks, i had no idea that it might be linked to hms until i read what you other people had put, so i am really quite shocked!

I am 16, i have HMS and EDS and have terrible stretchmarks! i am underweight for my height, and have never had weight problems or growth spurts. they are terrible across my hips, thighs, stomach, and even my breasts. they are so ugly! the old ones are silvery white, but the new ones are a deep dark purply red. I cringe when i look at them!

Hi all,
Been hypermobile since childhood and have also experienced the whole stretch-mark/cellulite thing and it's a bummer. In recent months I've switched to an organic diet, reasoning that all the chemicals in food can't be good for you, and although some of the cellulite remains I am losing it faster than I previously could with the excercise that I manage. This is because the preservatives sprayed onto your veg are the same chemicals that used to be used to stop cattle etc. losing bulk, to make them fatter for market!!!! I guess it stands to reason that if this makes animals fatter then it'll have the same effect on the human animal!!
It's not a cure I know but it can help cleanse your system without any crappy fad dieting.
Also try Vit.E creams as these can be very healing for the skin.

Take care and try not to stress, this all takes time to work.

Anita.
