FND, hypermobility and EDS

[Lady4]

There is a higher incidence of functional symptoms in people with EDS. Plus there is a higher incidence of hypermobility in people with FND. (Fernandez et al 2024 and Nisticò et al 2022, both studies linked below).

These articles were highlighted and shared with me recently:

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Although, it doesn't mean if you have one disorder, you necessarily have the other.

Thanks, Lady4. Interesting but also very vague and I don't think that patients were involved in the design of this research. No one I know with EDS wants a psychiatric label and they all say the same thing IE that if the physical symptoms were properly diagnosed and treated, the co-morbidities wouldn't exist. Again, a largely female patient population.

I do sometimes wonder whether my long standing problems with tight connective tissue, had something to do with slowly developing the FMD tremors and jerks but who knows ? It's good they are looking at the connection with the fascia though...whether it be too tight or too loose.
