Yeah it’s a common anecdote (I’m not aware of any research on it) my ftm hEDS friend has said the same thing

my fibromyalgia improved a bit cause of its muscle-strengthening properties

idk but the men in my family have it yet i, the only woman, am also the only one disabled by it. it’s pretty commonly accepted that men’s naturally higher muscle mass significantly improves EDS symptoms. that’s my theory on why women are diagnosed so much more. the men just (on average) have less pain/fewer symptoms

I have PCOS/PMOS and EDS and when my PCOS/PMOS got "worse" my EDS got better, and every time I try to treat my PCOS/PMOS my EDS gets worse

25% of people with EDS are really sensitive to progesterone. The men with EDS in my family have more organ issues like early hernias, organ ruptures, and AFIB as opposed to severe joint pain.
