these symptoms are due to intermittent impingement of neural branches within the brachial neural plexus, between the collar bone and the first rib. Women with FM often have tightness of this “Thoracic Outlet” d/t hyper flexible ligaments around the shoulder girdles. THORACIC OUTLET IMPINGEMENT CORRECTION: Avoid surgeons. Physical therapists have ideas. Build muscles of military posture. Wear small backpack backwards by hang on chest. Fill pack with ~15-20% body wt. (bag sugar/rice). Wear when shopping, walking, working in yard.

LIGHT CONTROL MIND CONTROL: 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.

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.

ENDOMETRIOSIS? A “DIAGNOSTIC” TERM IN SEARCH OF PATHOLOGICAL/PHYSIOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS & ETIOLOGY: 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” …

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.

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.

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.

LOOSE JOINTS, HYPERMOBITY? Gravity is at play in these women with tissue variations. When joint are unstable the obvious compensation is “gorilla” muscles to take over lax ligament efforts. A wise Physical Therapist is key. Lots of dedicated exercise also. LOOSE JOINTS INHERITED (-15% women) is normal. These woman’s have easier births & indigo-smart children. These women are often quite attractive and smart.

HYPOPERFUSION? Yes, maybe sympathetic nervous system dominance + decreased pituitary vasopressin causing excess free water elimination in urine ⏩️ decreased blood circulation of hyperosmolar blood. COVID-CAUSED decreased blood volume of blood that is too thick might explain orthodtstic hypotension, POTS. Might also explain the wormy blood clots.

TO BE GAY ON NOT, THE QUESTION? In ancient days of the mid last century, the proper medical terminology was “homosexual”. Homo is a Greek prefix for “man” such as used in our species name, homosapiens, I think. Along the way a new adjective/noun, a euphemism, was created, “gay”. “GAYNESS” might be adverb. I don’t know, grammar not my long suit. In any case, Anthropologist of last century seemed to be of consensus that a fixed ~15% of the population was homosexual as a transcultural genetic characteristic of homosapiens. Indeed, genes direct hormones.

MCAS & COVID: MCAS IN LONG COVID: is possibly etiologic via biomechanisms known about MCAS, HYPERMOBILITY (HS) & FIBROMYALGIA (FM). Persons with HS & FM commonly suffer MCAS. Reason has been theorized that mast cells reside proximate connective tissue.

IC CAUSE DISCOVERED: for years clinicians have been mystified by etiology of IC. Genes, microbes, toxins, & biochemistry have failed to provide insights. IC oft occurs in women who have Hypermobility Syndrome and/or IBS. These circumstances suggest that IC is a dysautonomia. IC A DYSAUTONOMIA? parasympathetic part of autonomic system stimulates smooth tissues of bladder & bowel to contract/evacuate those organs. Over activity of this neural network is unmeasurable, as yet, in current medical sciences. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME: doctors will tell you the cause is “unknown”. This is not true. IBS is commonly found in women either Hypermobility Syndrome. Reason is that these women are prone to pelvic girdle injuries and ligament laxity of one of the sacroiliac joints. IBS & HYPERMOBILITY SYNDROME: This association well known in medical circles. Some of these women have regular daily frequent loose stools. Some have intermittent episodes of several days of constipation. Another set of these women have alternating constipation and loose stools.

CRUEL INSURANCE SYSTEM?: beyond cruel. Big Insurance-Big Medicine conglomerates have captured biggest capitalism prize, control of medical care/promise of patients’ salvation from dreaded diseases. Shift costs/income to businessmen & refuse honest wages to Physicians. Legit! BIG INSURANCE CAPTURE: enlist BIG PHARMA & BIG ACADEMIC RESEARCH to decide what patentable chemicals “work” to “properly” tinker body Systems. Enlist BIG GOVERNMENT to mandate “proven” patentable toxic chemicals & outlaw natural nutriceuticals.

BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER: weakness at this physiological junction might be a major measure of LONG COVID etiology. The key will be to discover what correlates or even causes these markers to manifest abnormalities. ASTROCYTE MARKER ABNORMALITIES IN LONG COVID? If these measurements were to be demonstrated to be certain markers, then physiologic culprits should be sleuthed in patients who have these marker abnormalities. Candidate poisons ?…..

MAST CELLS, MICROBIOTA, AND NERVES: Hypermobility Syndrome is correlated with Mast cell degranulation. There is evidence for connective tissue hyperplasticity ⏩️ neural stretch & degranulation of Mast cells. This seems to be a “chicken-or-egg first” dynamic. IBS IS CORRELATED WITH HYPERMOBILITY SYNDROME: why would nature conserve frequent IBS intestinal flushing? Perhaps it is biological mechanism to maintain an optimal microbiota via Mast cell degranulation to preserve microbiota/metabolite stew best for brain health…

TBI HEALING WITH LIGHT FREQUENCY AND EMF: what, why, how, when. Quantum biology transcends anachronistic precepts of the currently fashionable centralized medicine static models of gene-driven biochemical systems. “ENERGY MEDICINE” is the title of my book and a compilation of my clinical medical research and data published in 1986. Inspirations for my work came from my studies of Acupuncture and the work of Dr. Norgier, Neurologist in Lyon France, discoverer of Auricular Medicine.

BACK PAIN, MIR SCANS, AND TREATMENT: this excellent patient-friendly thread is a wonderful resource. Academic medical literature reminds us that 13-30% of chronic low back pain is generated by dysfunctional sacroiliac joints, which were not discussed in this review. SACROILIAC JOINT PAIN: is generated from sacroiliac joints, which at 17 cm squared each, are the largest joints in the axial spine. The massive ligaments that tether this joint are often chronically injured in humans, wherein upright posture is made possible by these joints.

FIBROMYALGIA (FM) & MEN: men w. Hypermobility Syndrome (HS) ~1/100 & women ~1/15; genetic. HS potentiates FM by ⏩️ pelvic girdle instability (PGI). Women get PGI via childbirth & mundane lift/slip/fall injuries. Male (robust bones/ligaments) ⏩️ PGI d/t severe mechan. injury.
