When You Have So Many Symptoms, Where Do You Start? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome back to the Bendy Bulletin! Today, I’m joined by Rebecca Gluck, PA-C. One of the most common things we hear from people with hypermobility is some version of this:“I have so many symptoms and so much information coming at me that I don’t even know where to start.”It is easy to understand how someone gets there.You may begin by trying to figure out why your joints hurt or why you keep getting injured. Then you learn about hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) or hypermobility spectrum
When Your Body Pushes the Stitches Back Out (opens the original)
Read excerpt

The vagus nerve does participate in communication between the nervous system and immune system. Researchers are ev
When the Ballet Aesthetic Comes at a Cost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a lot of conversation happening in the ballet world right now about bodies, weight, aesthetics, competitions, and even individual dancers.I don’t want to weigh in on any particular dancer, competition, school, or company. But I do think the larger conversation matters.For those who know me primarily through my work in hypermobility, this topic may seem like a bit of a departure. It really isn’t.I love ballet.
