Hi wastedtalent
I’m afraid I can’t answer your question, I just wanted to say Hi I am sorry that you are having all these problems, I can feel for you, for very different reasons I have been having problems with my health since teens, been to many different doctors and given different labels, I feel strongly that my hypermobile joint could be underlying every thing, so I am going to see a doctor (I’m in England) privately who is an expert in hypermobilety and EDS to see if it all joins up. My heart went out to you, I hope and pray that you will be able to find some answers, it sounds like there is most deferenatly something going on that connects all your problems. Keep going !
