Hi, my name is penpal23. I'm here because I want to connect with others who are currently dealing with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. It is such a debilitating condition and want to see if others have tips to help minimize pain

How does your pet or service animal help you cope? When Jeff Smith’s hands go numb from MS, his black Lab, Colt, carries the house keys in his mouth.

“He picks up on my MS symptoms even before I do," Smith says. He is a 44-year-old resident of Florida, diagnosed in 2011. Colt is his trusty service dog.

“He gets me up in the morning when the fatigue just completely racks me.” Smith grips Colt’s harness when going up and down stairs, using him as both a guide and an anchor. “Colt stays glued to my side when I’m walking and makes me feel more stable."

Read more about the power of supportive pets, and how to get a service animal, at this Momentum article from the MS Society.
