#PTTime Since childhood, sleeping or sitting sedentary has made me very stiff. ♊
It's a different type of stiff. I can't describe it. That's why it can be very hard to talk to medical professionals that aren't familiar with #Hypermobility . You tell them you're stiff and the look I would get. 🤬

Love this thread. Hypermobility is linked to so many diagnoses. I hope the new gen of healthcare providers are less dismissive. TG for the internet, so anyone can be better informed about their health issues. I'm a proponent of dry sauna for joint pain. One day I'm getting a sauna bag.
