Impact on Immune System and Infections
Transcript
00:00The key point here is that if you have either hypermobile EDS or the hypermobile spectrum
00:08disorder, it's not just your tissues, it's your immune system. And therefore, when I hear somebody
00:17like you who's had all those spinal taps and had these infections, then my first thought is
00:24you must have a genetic hypermobile spectrum disorder of some kind, and you've also picked
00:32up EBV. And so the fact that your EBV did reactivate tells me then that over time you
00:42had periodic reactivation. You don't have mono, you don't have an infection, but you can start
00:48getting enough symptoms of your head or your back or what have you to all of a sudden have some
00:53neurologists say you need a spinal tap, okay? And you had a lot of spinal taps, and so your history,
01:00I hate to tell you this, based on what I review, is pretty typical.
