Brilliant presentation. You have given me a part of my jigsaw, that you must have found down the back of the settee, that a couple of doctors couldn't find.

A new study out (4/4) from @bendybrain.bsky.social and team #BSMS. I have summarised but am not a neuroscientist. So, MRI scans 🧲📸were used to explore brains🧠 🧠 to see how people with and without hypermobility react to feelings, like looking at different faces 😡😭🙂1/4

🙌Good to see this research in mainstream media @bendybrain.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN BY LINDA GEDDES. Reporting on the research of Dr Jessica Eccles on Hypermobility and Long Covid. Shows that there's a 30% higher risk of Long Covid. Again it's the issues with vasculature - the problems with collagen lead to issues with blood flow and POTS. Good to see this reported on. It's a neglected area of medicine.
