EDS and HSD awareness: week 3
I'm a little late but here the week 3
Day 11 – A Practical Tip That Helps
My walking stick for everyday. Don’t miss a meal and stay hydrated. It makes the symptoms worse, even if it’s hard to remember. A structure and a gourd are my best allies to remember them.
Day 12 – Thank a Healthcare Professional
My physical therapist, without whom I would be in the most complete pain
Day 13 – Living With Comorbidities
For me, it’s autism, asthma, orthostatic hypotension, and chronic urticaria.
Day 14 – Something I’ve Learned From Research
It's the Road to 2026 who gave me hope because right now, it’s up to the patient to assemble a medical team as best they can. From now on, he will have a real medical protocol for monitoring EDS and HSD. It’s no longer the specialist doctor who will impose on us when he wants to see us or not. There will be a real framework.
Day 15 – Wear #reds4veds
Day 16 – My Type, My Experience
I want that people understand hEDS and HSD are a chronic illness with more consequences that just hypermobility. Even at 21, I am learning new things about my body. It's not because Just because we don’t have terminal cancer (sorry, friends, but the able-bodied often use you to compare us) doesn’t mean that our experiences and problems don’t matter.
Day 17 – A Message to Someone Newly Diagnosed
Your experience matter. Your feelings and sensations matter. We must accompany you to understand your body, not reject you. Chronic illness will teach you more about life and your loved ones than a "normal" person would know.
Day 18 – What Rest Means to Me Now
I know it’s necessary now and I don’t reject it but we still have a complicated relationship. I try to understand it and adapt the rest to my life.
Day 19 – One Boundary I’ve Learned to Set
It's hard to set boundary.
Have a good week, see you Sunday
