Hi all! I’m looking to gain an understanding of flares from folks with hEDS. I am certain I have them, I just feel I am unaware of them or any potential warning signs?

Really the only thing I can point to are random periods of muscle spasms or intense muscle tightening/knots that are extremely painful.

For context if this is helpful: I am a high achiever in a very demanding field. I am also very into my personal fitness. As a result of all of these things, my entire life I have either wrote off my fatigue as stress or my physical pain stress-related tension. I have IBS-C and anxiety, I know my IBS flares with stress— but is that strictly that or a warning sign of hEDS flare? I feel so out of touch 🥺
