Abstract Background Anxiety symptoms are elevated among people with joint hypermobility. The underlying neural mechanisms are attributed theoretically to effects of variant connective tissue on the precision of interoceptive representations contributing to emotions. Aim To investigate the...

A new blog post on the problems with hEDS and hypermobility spectrum disorder. https://mecfsskeptic.com/heds-and-hypermobility-spectrum-disorder/ Epidemiological studies show no clear relationship between hypermobility and widespread pain. This questions the validity of diagnoses such as...

Overlapping Conditions in Long COVID at a Multisite Academic Center Background: Many patients experience persistent symptoms after COVID-19, a syndrome referred to as Long COVID (LC). The goal of this study was to identify novel new or worsening comorbidities self-reported in patients with LC...

Have been looking into the relationship between hypermobility on the one hand and pain, disability and health on the other. In other words: do people with hypermobility have more pain and worse health dan people without hypermobility? It seems that there have been quite a few population-based...

Abstract Objectives: To investigate whether constitutional laxity of the connective tissues is more frequently present in adolescents with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) than in healthy controls. Increased joint hypermobility in patients with CFS has been previously described, as has lower blood...

Jessica Eccles has been suggesting Long Covid patients are bendy too: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/mar/19/people-with-hypermobility-may-be-more-prone-to-long-covid-study-suggests Usual Guardian gossip.

Having been housebound with ME/CFS for over twenty years, I was recently diagnosed with autism and I now have hypermobility assessment tomorrow! I have always been hyperflexible and at the grand age of nearly 60 I can still lots of weird things with my joints and limbs (despite absolutely...

Abstract Fibromyalgia can be defined as a chronic pain condition, affecting the musculoskeletal system, etiology and pathophysiology of which is sufficiently understudied. Despite the fact that many authors consider this entity to be a manifestation of central sensitization, and not an...

Background: Individuals with generalised joint hypermobility (GJH, present in 10–20% of the general population) are at increased risk of being diagnosed with a range of psychiatric and rheumatological conditions. It is unknown whether Paediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS)...

Objective To examine demographic and clinical characteristics of individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) with and without joint hypermobility We hypothesized that JH+ patients would have an earlier onset of ME/CFS symptoms as well as increased severity...

The Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Patients with Joint Hypermobility Show Larger Cerebral Blood Flow Reductions during Orthostatic Stress Testing Than Patients without Hypermobility: A Case Control Study Linda M.C. van Campen Stichting CardioZorg, Planetenweg 5, 2132 HN...

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of 13 disorders, clinically defined through features of joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. Most subtypes are caused by mutations in genes affecting the structure or processing of the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein...

Abstract The Beighton Score (BS) is a set of manoeuvres in a nine-point scoring system, used as the standard method of assessment for Generalised Joint Hypermobility (GJH). It was originally developed as an epidemiological tool used in screening large populations for GJH, but later adopted as a...
