Dr Jessica Eccles, post-doc at Brighton Medical School, has an amazing research pipeline looking at the overlaps and interdependencies between hypermobility, neurodiversity, and psychological symptoms. She is systematically exploring the interface between mind and body, not least interoception. This has recently also overlapped with long Covid. I am confident that her work will revolutionalize our attitudes to many ‘medically unexplained symptoms’, including in relation to PoTS, ME/CFS and chronic pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia. An oustanding example of shattering the McNamara fallacy, i.e. making the important measurable, rather than the measurable, important!
