you should google hyper-mobility. I have it and have to be carful when I do physical activity like yoga

Jeez that's terrible. ( I still work but it kills me 😪 more tired really as I work 10 1/2 hrs a day for three days ) my friend can't claim that either she has no energy and hardly out of bed. She had to give up her job too as not understanding the pain blah, blah, blah. I think she has the middle payment if that make any sense ? She looks well that makes it worse I think as ppl think we are not unwell because we take pride in appearance 😁. There is me thinking 10 stretches lol. Was good @A MyFibroTeam Member 😂😂😂 i will find out for you

A MyFibro...

I'm still fairly flexible. I was double jointed too and I do all of my stretches for at least 20min a day and so I can't get disability because they think since I can bend down to the floor there is nothing wrong with me. Grrr! I can't do like what you said but to them everything looks normal. What about how slowly I do these things and how long it takes me to get up from things. They don't think about that and the fact that yes I can do them but a lot of times it still really hurts. I can't do certain floor stretches because my hands hurt too much to hold it that way, etc. So anyway, not sure if there is a term for that myself. Be interested in knowing if you find out.

After being diagnosed with fm my consultant also tested my joints and told me I had hypoelastisity syndrome. My joints , elbows and knees bend more than normal. I'm a plus size lady and have always been very flexible. I gave up my job a year ago coz fm got so bad. I'm now stiff as a board and think it's about time I gave some exercise a go to see if it helps.

That is one of the reasons how a Dr had taken me more seriously. ( but total opposite to you) after years of complaining how tired and pains I had and they were just saying I'll check your thyroid as I'm under active. I had a new car Christmas 2014 and instantly my thumb started to hurt when reversed, then my hips ( which I used to wrap my leg around my neck ( sitting ) my wrists, and so on I explained to my Dr I was double jointed and did gymnastics when younger but every part I used actually kill me and I was so fatigued.
I'd wake up and after an hour my eyes were so tired / heavy again. I have a lovely life and didn't like feeling like this ( I'd remarried ) she said it sounds like fibro but no test but would test me for rheumatoid athritis. Which came back that I had r/a then saw the rheumatologist. They diagnosed both. ( obviously I had degeneration changes too) but luckily they picked up my bones are thin for my age so having a bone density in April.. I have to say though I can not do all these things that I used to be able to do not that I would want to even as the pain is unbearable. 😱
