So basically your theory is: Trigger points -> muscle tighness -> abnormal use of energy by the muscles -> impaired or slow healing for everything else. Will try this

[@lisaglassic9792]

I see that a lot of EDS patients have had mold exposure. I recently learned what I believe is the connection between mold and the collagen degradation. I'm glad you found your recovery. I will be exploring more of what you are doing. Exploring trigger points is new to me. It makes sense that if the ligaments are not supporting the skeleton, that the brain causes the muscles to kick in and help. Thanks for sharing your recovery.

[@KaylaDuncanLMT]

Thank you for appreciating my recovery story. I lived in a moldy home for years. My son was also triggered into illness during this time. I never did anything specific to address the mold exposure. In my experience, once the trigger points are managed, the body is able to heal from almost anything. The only thing that continues to worsen for me personally is my teeth. I think it’s from chronic dehydration, stress, and grinding due to tension and TMJD. I hope to get access to good TMJ treatment eventually.

Thank you so much for this!! Recently diagnosed with EDS but have had Fibromyalgia for years, among other diagnoses. I’ve known my trigger points were an issue but didn’t realize they could be driving the symptoms, wow! Am going to check out the links, I somehow just intuitively feel the is the way forward for me. 🤗❤

[@eight-ball3625]

I was excited to hear you say your thumb doesn’t bend back. Mine never has and doctor after doctor would grab my thumb, try to bend it backwards, and tell me “ you don’t have it.” My DNA said that I do have it.

[@jguitar23]

I'd say eating an optimal diet, plenty of fresh foods, veg + necessary protein (animal or not) plus keeping fitness level good via gentle regular exercise that doesn't injure you is the base of health. Whatever you can do to keep fit uninjured is a huge benefit. Isometric exercises can help alot if you have pain.

[@linda5628]

It's amazing how far you've come, I hope you continue to manage your symptoms and get better. Thank you for sharing your story and helping other people through what you've learned. 💕

[@vickistyle3756]

My daughter suffers from EDS. Thank you for sharing this.

[@KaylaDuncanLMT]

EDS is a challenging condition to manage. There are many ways to try though! Bodywork including massage and physical therapy are highly effective when you have the right providers. There is also a supplement approach to management known as the Cusack Protocol. I manage with massage, herbal medicine, and select supplements. It’s not perfect but it helps. I hope your daughter finds the support she needs to manage and even thrive! Take care.

[@lulumoon6942]

Getting Lyme Disease, and the resultant collagen destruction from the organisms truly advanced my disorder! 😭

[@michaelturriano5723]

What a great recovery video, I'm really enjoying your content and cant wait to give your practices a try. I'm eagerly awaiting your next video. I hope you do a video where you talk about all of your life traumas, I think it could reach a lot of people.

[@KaylaDuncanLMT]

I would likely need to produce a whole series to chronical the traumas I have endured in this lifetime but I will consider approaching the subject and sharing some of the things I’ve overcome. I would be very happy to share what has helped me to process and release my trauma. Thank you for the support and the suggestion! I appreciate both very much.

[@anthony14rmg]

@@KaylaDuncanLMT I am using my husband’s account to comment. I too would love to see a video on how or what you did to heal your trauma issues. I have all of the same health issues that you do. I have been chronically ill for 27 years. My body has been stuck in fight or flight for so long, that it doesn’t know how to get out of it. I have tried numerous modes of trauma release therapies and techniques, but all to no avail. It’s so frustrating. Thanks so much.

[@KaylaDuncanLMT]

I completely understand all of this so much! I could tell that my nervous system was stuck. It was incredibly frustrating and very damaging to my body. Trigger point massage will definitely help begin the process of escaping fight or flight mode. Check into the curalistic program! You can listen to the audio book for free and start the program right away. I personally also did trauma release counseling. I will work to create content that details the techniques that I used to manage. Thank you for letting me know that this would be valuable to you. Here is the link for curalistic. Start here for sure! curalistic.org/sto-handbook/

[@leighannjohnson8176]

This sounds too good to be true! I'm in a similar place to how you were a year before and having a terrible time getting any help from doctors. Do you have resources to share about how to go about this treatment?

[@KaylaDuncanLMT]

I am so sorry you are struggling. I used the Curalistic program to begin my recovery journey. I often have links to this program in my video descriptions. I am also happy to be a resource for others on their own recovery journey. Please reach out any time.

[@MT-nz8ck]

Hi, congratulations on your video. I wanted to ask you or others too, is it normal to have tightness in the chest especially after eating? Difficulty breathing but I feel like it's more of a muscular thing than a respiratory thing, thanks (like suffocating and a lump in the throat). I'm hypermobile with a little bit elastic skin, but I don't know if I have EDS (I only have muscle problems like this and I haven't had any joint pain or any surgery at the moment). This symptom fades towards the evening and between meals.

[@nicolelauderdale3919]

This is so true

[@darilekron4590]

Do you still get plugged ears? Both TMJ and cervical instability can cause that, but also can be from Mast Cells from MCAS and Mastocytosis. hEDS often comes with AAI/CCI and Mast Cell issues which often causes inflammation and itching in the ear, nose and throat passageways. If you get dermatographism/ Darier sign (raised red/pink lines caused when you run thumb nail across skin, usually more noticeable reaction on back or upper arms) then it is possible to have mast cell involvement.

I’ve lost so much hope lately. I’m so tired of being in pain. Almost feel like I’m destined to die. I will absolutely be getting in touch with my triggers points. Praying it helps

[@reginaagreatergulfcoast672]

I just started having my trigger points dry needled and the change within only 5 days is remarkable. Years of pain, loss of function, and nearing complete dispair, I feel like I have found not just hope but excitement for getting my life back. If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend it.

What practitioner should someone seek to do trigger point work?

[@bomabompakarasch4230]

How did you deal with your trigger points did you get injections or what

[@user-nb7bl3tw4v]

how does releasing trigger points reverse eagles? eagles has to do with calcification of the styloid ligaments, and the etiology is unknown, i think.

[@KaylaDuncanLMT]

The elongated styloids are a perpetuating factor for trigger points in the digastric muscle and other muscles of the jaw and neck. Active trigger points need to be treated or they will cause progressive issues. Managing the TP’s caused by me having Eagle’s helps me manage the Eagle’s. Hope this helps.

[@lisaglassic9792]

And one more question, how did you learn about trigger points?

[@KaylaDuncanLMT]

I learned from Gustav Grundsoe and his program known as Curalistic. The audio book should be linked in my video description.

[@Sunshine-vz2on]

How are your ears now? Hope you’re good

[@codiannsmith]

Curious if you ever struggled with heart arrhythmias like pvcs?

[@allisonroblyer2601]

I have!

[@mariac5942]

Where can I learn about the trigger points?

[@KaylaDuncanLMT]

The Trigger Point Workbook by Claire Davies is an excellent resource. Also the Curalistic program and Facebook group. A therapeutic massage provider will also be well versed in trigger point pathology and treatment. I also have a video on how to identify trigger points.
