Hypermobile? Perhaps?

If you’ve ever been around me — you know my default position is sitting on the floor cross-legged. Despite the myriad of ailments which should completely make this preferred position impossible —- (obesity, psoriatic arthritis, hello!) I am often most comfortable like this – and have been most of my life.

– seeing this photo reminds me of conversation with my sisters at reunion Karen mentioning “um, ever thing you might be hypermobile?” My response – nyah, I’ve just been most comfortable in this position forever so I’m used to it… to which her reply was “maybe because you adapted to being hypermobile.” 🤣

Whole new world open to explore because holy cow, perhaps indeed. WHO KNEW?

I mean I never knew what a rheumatologist treated or what the heck an autoimmune disorder involved until I *randomly* had labs done after responding to my primary, jokingly, “wait, you are supposed to feel rested after waking up?”

Le sigh.
