Hi

My 7 year old son has Hypermobility too. We've had urine and soiling accidents for 5 years. I asked the consultant in London about Hypermobility and she did say it was hindering his recovery. He's been chronically constipated and now has a distended bowel which is going to take 2 years to go back to normal - that's 2 years without being constipated. I feel your pain. Xx

I have heard this before, also with DCD dyspraxia. I asked consultant and OT and both said that they have heard of links being made but no scientific evidence yet as to the exact mechanism.

My daughter only has wet accidents, and has been bad since starting school last year, very concerned about moving to new class in September. I have Hypermobility, she hasn't been diognosed. But hadn't made a connection before.

Hi Heidi. That's interesting. My son is 16 still wet every night if unmedicated and has hypermobilty - only really evident in his hands. His siblings also hyper mobility in hands especially awkward because of holding pen - older sister more affected than him and older brother less than him. Is there a history of autoimme conditions in your family?
