I'm new here!

Hi, my name is cate380. I'm here because I’ve been recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and hyper mobility sindrome. I’ve gone through very low days but now I want to try to accept it and understand how to live with it the best I can.

Help! My hypermobility in my hands and wrists is unmanageable!!

I am so frustrated and have searched online to no avail as to how to deal with this but my hypermobility in my hands and wrists is causing so many issues with things I want to do (cooking, playing instruments and any other fine motor activities).

What should I be doing? I can't find any devices or anything that seems to help, there doesn't seem to be a way to remedy this and I don't want to give up more things I love to Chronic health problems and I feel like I'm almost there and I can't stand to lose something else--please someone help me!

My rib cage is crooked and I think my spine is bent?

Hi! I am diagnosed with ME/CFS and my connective tissue kinda sucks (I could probably get diagnosed with HSD if not heds, but I haven’t pursued that atp)

I was lying flat on the floor the other day (as one does) and noticed my entire ribcage is crooked, as in the left side sticks out noticeably more. So then I started researching and it said it could be an indicator of scoliosis. So I did some wacky maneuvering to try to get my spine on camera to look at, and it looks a bit curved to the left in the upper part of my back in the picture. But maybe that’s the lighting?

I plan on probably making a doctors appointment regardless, but would love to hear what other people think who know more about this than I would lol

I’m new here!

Hi, my name is lavenderbubbles I'm here looking for more support and connections from people who go through the same as me. I feel very tired, isolated and hopeless sometimes, so I hope this place can alleviate a few of these feelings.

High resting heart rate

Hi new here! I was just diagnosed with g-hsd and suspected hEDS (I’m going through some testing now) I had my echo a few days ago (haven’t got my results back) but the lady doing it kept commenting on the fact that my resting heart rate is high 100-120bpm and if I speak it jumps to 140bpm. Has anyone else experienced this (high resting heart rate) or could this possibly just be something unrelated all together.
