While there is no cure for Long Covid, hypermobile long-haulers might be able to better manage their condition by treating hypermobility and associated conditions like dysautonomia and mast cell activation syndrome. Another intervention that has helped some hypermobile long haulers is treatment for mast cell activation syndrome, which has been linked to some forms of EDS. “I got sick in 2021, just collapsed in my living room, unable to breathe, with a pulse of 39,” recalled Sara Anaya, a California school counselor with Long Covid, who was then hospitalized for 10 days and discharged with a diagnosis of functional neurological disorder or FND, which experts warn is an inappropriate and harmful diagnosis for people with Long Covid.
