Nutritional Considerations for Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Cheryl Iny Harris, Dacre R.T. Knight, Lisa A. Mejia, Laurie Bilyeu
While the hallmarks of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum
disorders (HSD) are pain, joint instability, and injuries to soft tissues, most patients with hEDS and
HSD have a myriad of manifestations within the gastrointestinal tract that affect dietary tolerance
and quality of life.

Correlation between attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and chronic pain: a survey of adults in Japan
Satoshi Kasahara, Takahiko Yoshimoto, Hiroyuki Oka, Naoko Sato, Taito Morita, Shin-Ichi Niwa, Kanji Uchida, Ko Matsudaira
This cross-sectional epidemiological internet survey assessed whether attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms are associated with pain chronicity and intensity and explored the relationship between developmental disorder symptoms and pain. Participants were 4028 adults aged 20–64 years who experienced pain, assessed using an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS), in any body part in the previous 4 weeks. ADHD and ASD symptoms were assessed using the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and autism spectrum quotient, respectively.

Sleep disorders in patients with postural tachycardia syndrome: A review of the literature and guide for clinicians
Mitchell G. Miglisa, Fiona Barwick
Fatigue is common in POTS, and patients often report unrefreshing sleep. These symptoms are directly correlated with a reduced quality of life, however the treatment of sleep disorders in this population remains a challenge. This article will review the current literature on the prevalence of sleep disorders in POTS, their association with the underlying pathophysiology of POTS, and current treatment paradigms.

Co-Occurring Physical Health Challenges in Neurodivergent Children and Young People: A Topical Review and Recommendation
Bethany Donagh, David Moore & Jane Green
A topical review peer review. Neurodivergence has been established as associated with a significant number of co-occurring physical conditions, particularly for autistic individuals who are at risk for increased pain, hypermobility fatigue and gastrointestinal problems. However, data, so far, has been focused on adults and generally limited to discussions of condition prevalence alone.

Do people with M.E./CFS and joint hypermobility represent a disease subgroup? An analysis using registry data.
Allison Ramiller, Sadie Whittaker, Leslie E. Phillips
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic, multifaceted disease that affects millions globally. Despite its significant impact, the disease's etiology remains poorly understood, and symptom heterogeneity poses challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Joint hypermobility, commonly seen in hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), has been observed in ME/CFS patients but its prevalence and clinical significance within this population are not well-characterized.

Misophonia reactions in the general population are correlated with strong emotional reactions to other everyday sensory–emotional experiences (2024)
Solena D. Mednicoff, Sivan Barashy, David J. Vollweiler, Stephen D. Benning, Joel S. Snyder and Erin E. Hannon
Misophonic experiences are common in the general population, and they may shed light on everyday emotional reactions to multi-modal stimuli. We performed an online study of a non-clinical sample to understand the extent to which adults who have misophonic reactions are generally reactive to a range of audio-visual emotion-inducing stimuli.
