Hi there, I'm in a strange place at the moment. I've just had my diagnosis of fibromyalgia over turned and been re-diagnosed with Joint Hypermoblity Spectrum Disorder according to the newly revised diagnostic criteria. I am very much symptomatic! Just saying Hi for now but very much looking forward to chatting with the rest of the community

Hi @Andreasuperstar welcome to the community - we had a guest post recently about hyper mobility and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, I know its not the same thing but wondered if it was of interest to you?
