The downfalls of bandaids (or adhesives)

They tear the skin.

sometimes when chronically ill/disabled/neurodivergent people say “I can’t do this thing” they really mean “I can technically do this thing I guess, but not without pretty significant repercussions” and I really need more fully-abled people to understand the validity of that

Ok mini rant, I keep seeing videos on tiktok talking about "signs and symptoms of EDS" or "things I did before I realized I had EDS" and then just listing symptoms of hypermobile type, there is 13 types... just cause hEDS is the most common type doesn't mean the other types dont exist. please if you wanna talk about signs of hEDS please specify that its hEDS you're talking about rather then just ehlers danlos in general.

This might sound like I'm just being a hater and I really don't want it to come across that way, it's more of an annoyance in that it spreads misinformation that all types of EDS have the same symptoms or as I've seen some people think, that there's only one type of EDS.

Im just a bit pissed off by it atm cause it seems the only type of EDS I really hear people talk about is hEDS, and I get why cause it's the most common type, but as someone with both hEDS and cEDS (thank you parents for both having a different type of EDS) it can get a bit tiring to never hear people talk about other types.

I hate the look on able-bodied people's faces when you can't do a thing that you could do the day before. The look of disappointment, confusion, the "Oh but you could do it before. Are you SURE you can't do it?" Like yes, Brenda, I'm sure that I am in too much pain to function/move from my bed right now so going for a walk when I could move 50 feet yesterday without my cane IS too much.

Hypermobility culture is having the urge to stretch but stretching does nothing.

No matter how you twist and turn.

Happy First of May!!

Hello! May is EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) awareness month! As a person with suspected EDS and with chronic symptoms, this is a very important topic to me. EDS is hard to diagnose, and many patients fly under the radar of healthcare professionals which can cause them to suffer lack of treatment and forces them to live with their painful symptoms.

More Information about EDS and associated variations has been attached below and the infographs were originally found on an instagram account that I follow at the username the_chronic_chronicles
