How common is this?

Answer 1

It is pretty rare.  Though I have actually know two people to have it.  One of them had a few complications but just had to live with it,  the other was a gymnast and took martial arts and was in excellent shape.  People with this are very capable of leading a normal life though there are complications a lot of times with having this,  Doctors rarely know what to do and I wouldn't let them keep doing tests on me if I had it because they will never for now find out whats going on.
