sorry ali – you’re not being thick – i tend to abbreviate and/or not include important relevant information in my “conversations” – i gotta work on that.
asd is short for autism spectrum disorder – referring to people who fall (have been diagnosed) “somewhere on the spectrum of autism” – like ad/hd, there is quite a large spectrum, with diverse presentations.
hypermobile, i was referring to joint hypermobility. women generally tend towards some more than men, and that joint laxity increases considerably during pregnancy due to the hormone relaxin (in preparation for labor and delivery) and then returns to their “normal” following birth. an example to help explain, for most adults, when you fully extend/straighten your arm, it appears there is 0 degrees/ no angle at the elbow. if someone has very tight joints, or there has been an injury at the elbow, the person may not be able to fully extend to 0, and with some visible degree of flexion at the elbow at full extension that would be less than normal mobility, or a hypomobile joint. but if a person fully straightens their arm and the extension goes beyond straight and the angle created is in extension, that joint is hypermobile. if that type of hypermobility is seen throughout the body, more or less, then the person is considered to be hypermobile.
a couple of years ago, i was goofing around with my kids chasing them around the hallways in a medical building following an appointment, when i suddenly and uncontrollably went flying forward, breaking my fall with my hands and arms. to this day i can’t explain how it happened….but anyways, a few weeks later i went in to one of my dr.s requesting xrays of my elbows. he did a quick exam, and said he didn’t see any need, as i displayed full range of motion. i had to explain that the apparent normal range he was seeing was quite abnormal for me, as i’m usually well into extension when i extend.
my son is even more hypermobile than me. when sitting and leaning back, resting his weight on his extended arms, his elbows get so hyperextended it freaks out his father and he makes him change positions!
and ipso, that makes me wonder if perhaps magnesium is used as a binder in adderall, and provides some additional , even if unintended , benefits? i’ll have to look into that! i’ve been wondering why i’ve had this wonderful “side effect” of virtual elimination of severe headaches since starting adderal, when i had suffered for so many years almost daily .
