I love your blog & usually your judgement but not convinced about hypermobility.
No evidence is presented to suggest it is other than a variant of normal or that it is a significant factor in pain & fatigue.
The fact that a big proportion of patients at a tertiary hypermobility service have pain & fatigue isn't that surprising, why else would they be there. Unfortunately no conclusion can be drawn about whether the hypermobility and the other symptoms are associated beyond that expected by chance without looking at a “normal” population.
Best wishes
David Bossano
