Hello. I'm Caroline but my username is Loudflower. I'm here because I've recently been diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos - this diagnosis came a few years after being diagnosed with breast cancer due to a gene mutation and going through all the surgeries and treatments that follow. That is the very short version. Life has changed, y'all. Some days I am determined and optimistic and too many days I am just struggling. It's a lot. I have even retired early (I am a pharmacist). I'm hoping to learn from everyone, and hopefully to find a laugh or two as well.

Hi, my name is Seed1968. I'm worried about being labeled a hypochondriac, which I’m not, although I’ve been treated like I am.

Do any other HSD/hEDS young people get more and more stretch marks all the time even though nothing appears to be changing with t their body size wise? I’m 18 and I’m not growing anymore and I haven’t been gaining much weight, but I keep getting stretch marks in strange places? I know stretch marks are a part of hypermobility disorders, but it just seems a bit excessive… Are they going to slow down/stop? Is there anything I can do for them? They fade pretty well, but it would be nice to help my skin out by stopping them from happening so much :/
