Thanks, Dr. Diana. I just saw this reply. 🙂 There are so many things connected to this, it’s crazy. I’m always being led further and further down the rabbit hole, it seems. But I have a promising link to nailing down another condition I have that has a huge overlap with EDS/hypermobility (50% of women clinically present with hypermobility with this issue, according to one of the leading experts on this condition) that it a totally new direction that I hope helps to fill in some of my missing pieces. I appreciate all the information that you share. it has been helpful to share it with open-minded professionals and I am closer and closer to getting to the bottom of this with all the connections you’ve uncovered. 🙂
