I am researching treatments for my daughter, who has hEDS, ME/CFS and other conditions, with implications for #EDS, #MECFS and #LongCOVID. I am a researcher, but not an MD.

Our paper found that people with generalized joint #hypermobility have a 23% higher risk of #LongCOVID while people with extreme hypermobility have a 76% higher risk of #LongCOVID. This thread focuses on possible explanations for the higher risk. 1/20

Our article examining the extent to which people with #hypermobility are at risk of Long COVID was just published in BMJ Public Health, an open access journal. bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/3/2/...
Variant connective tissue as a risk factor for long COVID: a case-control study of data from a retrospective online survey of adults in the USA and UK

A new preprint confirms that generalized joint #hypermobility is a risk factor for #LongCOVID, while breaking new ground by examining risks of extreme hypermobility and whether hypermobility risk varies based on severity of initial COVID infection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

No drug, diet, or device intervention has supportive evidence for efficacy. CBT, rehab provided some relief of symptoms (moderate certainty).
We're still in desperate need for a validated treatment!
