ASSOCIATION OF hEDS & RHEUMATOLOGICAL DISORDERS; AN OPINION (1/7/2020):
Either there is genetic linkage between these disparate Syndromes or there is not. I searched for physiologic relationship, but I find no ready theories of associations between these diseases & tissue disorders.
The environmental dynamics that explain these relationships (associations) are sedentary lifestyles that beget weak bodies & chronic pain that forestalls ongoing pursuit of daily locomotor confrontations with the ambient gravitational field.
All of these conjoined factors leading to additional soft tissue weakness, spasm, & pain, aka Fibromyalgia.
OH MY!
Now, part of a why,
Hypermobility lies,
Kind’a thing rheumatological,
Could it be tautological?
Many disease do cry,
For skilled-doctor eyes,
Or will it simply be,
A mirage that we see.
Environ relationships seemingly, Creating pathways most gaily,
Best explanation at hand,
Glorious signs mostly grand.
Data shows associations ‘n order,
With Rheumatologic disorders,
Long consider auto-immune,
Seeming mysteries subsumed.
Except these Syndromes,
Have disparate genomes,
One Syndrome terrain for another? Absent same physiological mothers?
Reclusive lifestyles involved,
In patients most evolved,
Avoidance of sun ‘n outdoor fun,
Seeming part of the sum.
Chronic pain is much noted,
Amongst those most promoted.
So think complex truths,
To show motive roots.
Hold patients aloof,
Then set up strange proofs,
In patients most posited,
Choose null type hypotheses.
What etiologic pathways be like,
Via formed dynamic insight,
See my library of thread reader unrolls, To tell of them here ‘tis beginning to toll.
CONCLUSION: Study of association of hEDS & Rheumatologic disorders makes precious little clinical scientific sense.
This is Dr. Krause, Neurosurgeon, of an El Salvador healing center he set up contemporaneously. Dr. Delgado, Neurosurgeon he mentions, was one of my Professors at Yale Medical School in 1966 & famous then for implanting radio frequency controlled electrode in a bull’s brain.
MIND CONTROL WITH EMF & LIGHT: Dr. Delgado, or surrogate, got into bull ring. As bull charged for the kill a flick of a switch stopped him in his tracks. ‘‘Twas a powerful demonstration. Dr. Delgado was an handsome Surgeon & the coeds, my own same-time fancy, swooned.
IBS IN VETERANS: As a medical doctor I have clinically studied this disorder. My clinical impressions are as follows:
My prediction is that this disorder will be found in more female veterans than males. My Threadreader to follows explains why …
VETERANS WITH IBS, PREFACE TO THIS THREAD: Over >2 decades, I have studied pathophysiology/etiology of IBS. Amongst my >300 threadreaders on Twitter/X, I have discussed IBS issues.
VETERANS WITH IBS, MY AUTHORITY: Since 2007, I have published clinical data internationally in “Proceedings of Interdisciplinary World Congress on Low Back & Pelvic Pain”, which Congress meets every three years.
HYPERMOBILITY SYNDROME (~15% women) predisposes ▶️ Dysmenorrhea due to Relaxin hormone each menses ▶️ Abdominal Endoscopy whereby 100% women ▶️ intestinal adhesion from #2-3 Scopes ▶️ IBS symptoms of partial obstruction = “Endometriosis” …
After several endoscopic procedures iatrogenic-caused bowel adhesions induce dysfunctional bowel manifest as IBS. Now the time for widespread ablation of peritoneal tissue. I am curious about the long term effects of this mutilating procedure.
FIBROMYALGIA SLEEP SOLUTION? Very simply, the solution is increased REM sleep. FM sufferers are surface sleepers aroused, by musculoskeletal pain, from deeper levels of sleep. Ask them if they regularly dream, and most admit they don’t.
FIBROMYALGIA & SLEEP: A sine qua non of Fibromyalgia (FM) is chronic low back pain. Commonly, etiology of FM low back pain is unilateral sacroiliac (SIJ) dysfunction/subluxation, whereat integrity of the SIJ capsule has been compromised.
DAMAGED LIGAMENTS HURT, as the Spanish Inquisition’s use of “The Rack” taught us. Each sacroiliac is 17 cm sq., largest joint in axial spine, & has a large ligament capsule. Torsion of this capsule occurs at night …
DYSAUTONOMIAS: etiologic via major joint subluxations (shoulder/pelvic girdles) proximate autonomic tracts/plexi become impinged, due to titled upright body tower, due to ⏬️ musculoskeletal tone, due to prolonged (>2 wks) bedrest, due to significant viral illness. GRAVITY RULES
FIBROMYALGIA BEGETS ITSELF: Once chronic widespread muscle spasms begin, chronic pain & restless sleep induce sedentary life, reclusiveness, daytime fatigue and depression. These changes lead to inadequate sunlight, low Vit D, weaker spastic muscles, & greater sedentariness.
FIBROMYALGIA BEGETS ITSELF: weak spastic muscles in persons with Hypermobility Syndrome (~15% of women) induce joint subluxations. These subluxations impinge the Autonomic Nervous System plexi at shoulder & pelvic girdle joints….
DYSAUTONOMIAS: etiologic via major joint subluxations (shoulder/pelvic girdles) proximate autonomic tracts/plexi become impinged, due to titled upright body tower, due to ⏬️ musculoskeletal tone, due to prolonged (>2 wks) bedrest, due to significant viral illness. GRAVITY RULES
DYSAUTONOMIAS: THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME & CRPS (RSV) of arms aroused via autonomic dysfunctions as neural tract impingements are effected within asymmetric shoulder girdles, secondary to functional scoliosis in hypermobile women with faulty muscle tone & unstable pelvic girdles.
DYSAUTONOMIAS: IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME & INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS are aroused d/t autonomic dysfunctions as neural tracts impinged within presacral plexi overlaying ventral sulci of sacroiliac joints in hypermobile women w. SIJ subluxation, d/t mundane slips/falls/ childbirths.
