Interesting. By crooked fingers, do you mean little stuff like this, or more severe?




As a side note, it is really freaking hard to take a picture of your own hands.

Also, from your link:

Quote:
In addition to the joint and cardiac effects noted above for hypermobility, this variant is characterized by soft, highly elastic, velvety skin which may tear, bruise, or scar easily and/or be slow to heal, and which has a tendency to develop benign fatty growths as well as benign fibrous growths on pressure areas.
I had big old ganglion cysts on my wrists as a kid.

the delicate skin noted above is joined by fragile blood vessel walls... Thin, translucent skin (veins can usually be seen on chest);
Check and check. I have little broken blood vessels everywhere, and we joke about my "lightning bolts" on my chest. Very interesting. On the other hand, the wiki article doesn't mention any treatment options other than pain medication for the painful joints. So it's not like they could do anything about it even if it turned out I had it, right?
