Hi, just to mention that some illness+disabilities had different labels in the past. A lot of them would have just been labelled under an umbrella. For example, Parkinsons, Cerebral Palsy or anything resembling spacticity was simply called Paralysis. (not sure of the spellings). Because the medical profession has moved forward, ( I sometimes wonder), illness's have been individualised. My guess would be that those with EDS would have been diagnosed with club foot in the 18th+19th centuries, if they had the vascular type. Maggie
