    What’s the most unexpected or entertaining way you’ve dislocated or subluxated a joint?

    Yesterday, I subluxated my jaw on one of these apple sauce pouches (having to eat baby food due to #EhlersDanlosSyndrome , hurting myself on said baby food due to EDS). I have to admit, though, it was pretty funny. Sometimes, you just have to laugh at the pain. I feel like a lot of us have had some experience with injuries that have surprised us or made us chuckle, so please share yours!

    How does EDS affect your mental health?

    If you live with chronic illness, you know it’s no walk in the park. Not only do the challenges affect your daily living due to physical symptoms, but it can also negatively impact your mental and emotional health as well.

    How does living with EDS impact you emotionally? What have your experiences been like?
