help sharing that you also almost perfectly describe my (large and growing) chronic
patient community as well Dr. Brogan, which includes persons of all types usually with hypermobility (often diagnosed as fibromyalgia, and occasionally but rarely with Hypermobile Ehlers - Danlos Syndrome), depression, anxiety, mild
autistic traits (or related to people on the spectrum), driven, Type A (for adrenergic, smile), perfectionistic, high achieving, driven, artistic, and creative who eventually succumb to secondary aotuimmune disease and all manner of issues from chronic inflammation.
