Please contact The Marfan Foundation. marfan.org. They are the people to help you get to the correct doctors in your area. EDS is another syndrome that is included in their foundation.

I'm not a medical person but it certainly sounds like you might have EDS. I have CVID and a lot of my people with primary immunodeficiency do have this. I would try to find a clinical immunologist to check your gammaglobulin levels. Not an allergist-immunologist but a clinical immunologist. See if you can get into a teaching hospital clinic. Usually you have to have a referral.

It’s possible. Those are symptoms of EDS or HSD, but joint hypermobility is the primary sign.

You can check the EDS Society’s website where they describe the multiple types and you can see if you feel you fit the diagnostic criteria: https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/

All the other types but hypermobile type have a genetic marker. If you feel you fit the criteria, it may make sense to pursue it.

But there are other conditions like unspecified connective tissue disorder (a rheumatologist would usually diagnose this) that might have similar symptoms.
