3 conditions that always make me think: have we ruled out MCAS? Could MCAS be causing all these symptoms??

HSD!! What is it and why it is massively under recognised! Part 1.
Tomorrow we will go over how we diagnose HSD.

30/08/2026

Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) is what we diagnose when joints move beyond their normal range and it’s causing you problems — but the picture doesn’t quite meet the criteria for hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).

It is not “just being flexible.” For many people it means:

•Joints that ache, subluxate, or dislocate
•Persistent pain and stiffness, often worse after activity
• Fatigue that rest doesn’t seem to fix
• Clumsiness or a poor sense of where your body is in space (proprioception)
• Frequent sprains, strains, and injuries that are slow to heal

HSD also travels in company. We often see overlap with dysautonomia and POTS (dizziness, palpitations, fainting), MCAS, and gut symptoms like bloating and reflux. If that combination sounds familiar, you’re not imagining the connection.

Here’s what matters most: HSD is not “less serious” than hEDS. The label reflects which diagnostic box you fall into — not how much it affects your life. Your symptoms are real, and they deserve to be taken seriously.

The good news? A lot can be done. Paced strengthening, physiotherapy, pain management, and treating the overlapping conditions can genuinely change how you feel day to day.
