Finally someone else who understands! Iβm not hyperflexible, but I was born with a similar talent. I can pop my kneecap in and out of place with the muscles in my legs when I sit down, like when people can pop their pectorals. And it makes a kind of heartbeat thump sound when I do it. So naturally, when I wear shorts in front of guests this is fair game to freak them out. I can also shape my tongue into a straw and drink out of a cup with it like a butterfly. Fun to do in the background at parties, especially when other people are drunk. Itβs like you break their brain for a little bit.

Oh no, never looked into the kneecap thing. Iβve been doing it since I was very little and never really saw doctors... ever. So who knows, thatβs the magic of it. I know Iβm not normal in terms of what my flexibility is, considering I can get a near split with no prior training or really exercising and can kick as high as my chest (my brother is very upset about this, he used to do martial arts training before the pandemic. Said it took him a month or two to be able to get that high) but I never really thought it could be something cool like hyper flexibility. That would be useful.
Yeah. I got into a car accident freshman year of high school, Nothing major, but I got whiplash. Needed therapy. Therapists didnβt take me seriously, hooked me up to electro stim machines and left for the hour they had me as well as a few other stupid things like manipulating my neck. Now the muscles in my upper back and neck are in almost constant spasm. American healthcare is so fun, didnβt yβknow? And once the spine starts acting up, you get weird things. It contributes to the pain from my brain condition and causes a whole host of other issues youβd never think about usually. It IS cool in the way that some light pain emanates from the spine in such a way that you can feel it almost like an electrical current through the body. Like from the spine to the fingertips. Everythingβs so complex and so interesting sometimes.

That would make sense though, considering youβd be wearing through all the cartilage much quicker.
Welcome to the club. Everyone here hates it too. Since my neuro is a specialist, just to see him to make sure my eyes arenβt swelling so bad I might go permanently blind due to my condition (this is just the visit and testing, mind you, without treatment), the bill is $2000 and change. Right now Iβm on my fatherβs insurance so the cost is drastically reduced enough to be affordable, but when I turn 27 (age limit) Iβm pretty much just gonna go blind if my condition fully reactivates. I already canβt see an eye doctor for glasses or the dentist for my teeth because I aged out of the coverage in those areas. I just brush my teeth vigorously every night and hope to whateverβs in the sky that my glasses donβt become outdated (pretty badly nearsighted), because both of those doctors can cost thousands too if you actually need any kind of treatment. Just to see my regular doctor if I have a cold I have to pay $25 (WITH the coverage) a pop. Heβs a pretty good doctor and gets things done usually first try but so far heβs been the only one. Others have drawn out the days or sent me to other offices because they never know whatβs going on. One hospital told me my condition was inactive. I go to another to treat my chronic headache pain (because the first NEURO said it wasnβt his problem), and this one tells me she canβt properly treat me because she thinks the other was wrong, that Iβm not inactive and all of a sudden I have to see a third doctor, but in their district/hospital. And then the pandemic hit, I can no longer get treatment at all, even if Iβm willing and able to pay.
I heard once that America has literally the worst healthcare in all the developed nations and we canβt even afford it, ha.
