That all sounds amazing, I'm really interested in your theory, particularly the link with hyper mobility, that is something I hadn't really heard much about. I think the brain/body influence should really go without saying but as with everything proof is necessary.
If you weren't so far away I would offer to be a guinea pig being a hyper mobile FMS specimen.
I'll be following the page to keep updated.

I am curious as to the link in pain from Fibro being worse in summer months. In November my pain gets remarkably intense then continues until around March, our summer months. Dr Eccles it is wonderful you are doing this research thank you.

I can relate everything that you have said about Fibromyalgia, hyper mobile joints and heart rate with my son who has recently been diagnosed with Fibro. I wish you were closer to us (Cardiff) as it would be interesting for him to take part in your studies, particularly as his GPs have been so dismissive of his symptoms.

This is extremely interesting, I am hyper mobile and have all these symptoms. I have found betaine, choline and Sam-e extremely helpful for those conditions.This is probably a problem with methylation.

[@Truerealism747]
