Yay, something else to look forward to besides joint replacement surgeries and more arthritis.
What? Adhd affects joints?
Yeah, we tend to smoke more of them.
3+ decades of dozens of prescriptions, none gave me a moment's peace.
On the other hand, my little vape has saved the day more times than I can count.
Not that I know of.... however, I'm a disabled veteran. Jumping out of planes definitely affects joints.
It’s pretty closely connected to EDS/Hypermobility. For many this will be mild though and go unnoticed.
POTS, MCAS (gi issues, allergies) in the ‘chronic triad’
yeah I looked up after and saw that there is an increased correlation between ADHD and hypermobility, I do have Hypermobility.
