Hi
i have some form of instability in my back that the doctors can't get to the bottom of, but the net result is back pain that painkillers don't deal with and it disturbs my sleep every single night. Having just read a couple of other posts and wondering for a while now about the possibility of some form of co-morbidity between autism and back issues, I thought I would just do a quick straw poll to find out how wide spread the issue is.
Thanks
Andrew
Hello Andrew,
I also have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Hypermobile Type or Joint Hypermobility Syndrome. I heard it is common as a co-morbidity to autism. I am autistic too and I get pain all over the place, but especially in back and neck.
That is very interesting thank you, how did you go about getting an EDS diagnosis?
