I have the opposite issue, hypertonia. I had physiotherapy and occupational therapy for it and related problems when I was little. I am female.
I have that in some parts of my body (since infancy), and have sometimes had problems with low tone, or just plain weakness, in others. (Severe muscle weakness is
really really really really really bad if you are hypermobile already. I had more subluxations and dislocations during that time period than I want to think about, if you're hypermobile your muscles are a good part of what stabilizes your joints. Unfortunately some kind of intermittent disorder causing periods (months or years) of severe weakness with exertion runs in my family, my grandma has it too.)
As a child I had excellent stamina (at least for walking long-distance, which was a favorite activity), as an adult I have never had much of any, and have to strike a really unpleasant balance between not exercising too much and not exercising too little to keep the strength I do have (either one will lead to more weakness, how much exercise it takes to lead to collapse ranges from a little while of light aerobic exercise, to any movement at all, so the size and location of the tightrope I have to walk there is always changing; same thing for my grandma since adulthood for her too).
