Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 I can fold my tongue in half so the tip is pointing backwards, open my mouth, and make it stay that way for some time if I really wanted to. How does that relate to EDS and/or a collagen disorder?? Sharon K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The geneticist was asking about tongue flexibility/suppleness (the ability to touch one's nose with their tongue has been mentioned in several EDS articles) and I mentioned I could do the above trick. He seemed impressed and wanted to take a picture, so it made me curious if anyone else on the list could do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
