Can the non dominant side of the body be more affected in EDS and also is it a feature of EDS for feet to turn inwards ?

EDS can seemingly affect just about anywhere upon the body. In my own case my legs normally cause most of my discomfort followed closely by my arms but another trait is that symptoms can 'travel' so that one day I'll barely be able to walk because my ankles are tender & swollen but I'll be using my hands just fine, the following day I'll be standing & walking better but may have limited movement in my fingers.

Feet turning inwards can be a symptom of hypermobile joints along with walking on the edge of your feet or upon the heel of your feet.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about whether the non-dominant side of the body is more affected by EDS, but I imagine it could be possible for the feet to turn inwards in EDS. I was born with club feet (which has since been corrected without surgery) and I have flat feet.
