living lessons: life with chronic illness (lesson #2 )

in a world that’s perfectly packaged in black and white, it’s easy to convince ourselves we are either this or that, broken or whole, capable or incapable. there can be great comfort in this cocoon. by doing so though, we prevent the peace of the paradox which allows (and in fact insists on) room for both/and. when we learn to greet the greys, a whole world can open up to us and for us. what colors will you see today? 🖤🤍💖

31 days of EDS and HSD

Day 8 – The Reality of EDS and HSD. You may struggle with pain, fatigue, or many other symptoms due to EDS or HSD – What do your symptoms really feel like?

I would like to make a special mention of chronic fatigue, which makes me feel 10 times older than I am.

Then the great winner of the competition for the worst symptoms is pain. Pain can count on various true allies: incompetent doctors or denying my pain. It took me 10 years to have something that relieved at least part of my pain and made me understand that it existed and had a devastating impact on me: electrotherapy with TENS type devices. Not counting the time I learned during a tooth surgery that I was resistant to local anaesthesia. I hate dental surgeons.

Then we have discomfort and clumsiness which are particularly annoying, in the third position.

In the category of symptoms as well boring, there are: joint instability, fragile skin, dysautomia, anxiety, problems related to autism, headaches, gastrointestinal problems.

Thank you for reading. See you tomorrow

Have you ever heard of a Growth vs Fixed Mindset?
A growth mindset can really open up endless possibilities for growth and coping better with life, but it can be really hard if we have had a fixed mindset for years.

What's one area in the growth mindset category you'd like to try?

31 days of and HSD: day 5

Day 5 – What You See vs. What You Don’t: Share the realities of living with EDS or HSD

It’s a daily adventure. Fatigue, awkwardness, pain, brain fog and more are symptoms that vary enormously from day to day. Sometimes just getting out of bed is a challenge so college is sometimes just unbearable. The fact that I have to use a cane now helps a lot to make people understand that I have a disability before it was just hell in public transport. People see that I am young and therefore that I am at worst depressed => I have perpetual dark circles because of chronic fatigue. However, I have a medical history that would make some people cry. People do not see our reality as sick but like to judge. Sometimes, even I discover new facets of the reality of living with an HSD. To say that the specialist told me it was different from EDS. I find it very similar.

living lessons: life with chronic illness (lesson #1 )

hi fellow mighties. this is my first post in a new series i created based on my experiences, both life-giving and life-draining, since being struck by a debilitating disease 2 ½ years ago. i’m quite far from being an expert on chronic illness (is anybody ever?) but my life will forever be altered into before and after. let’s just say i am certainly still figuring out after. in the meantime, i hope any sentiments i can share offer some support and solace to others walking the same path. sometimes it just helps to know you’re not alone. sometimes it just helps to know there are others in the same situation who have learned not just to survive but thrive. and sometimes, just sometimes, we can find helping hearts along the way who are willing to weave some love and light into our lives if we find the courage and vulnerability to let them in. feel free to share this with someone who needs to hear it
