I’ve got mild EDS and so far (thirties), it’s just helpful (as long as you stay active and maintain good core muscles). Extreme EDS can result in your skin sloughing off or all of your joints dislocating in your sleep, so it’s not something to ignore, but if the only symptom is your thumb touching your wrist, you might just be lucky.
I often dislocate a shoulder or hip in my sleep. I can dislocate a knee turning around or just taking steps. I wear a lot of compression and braces, but they only help so much lol
