Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Problem # 23895

Adhesives will rip off your fragile skin in most places. Go slow every time or get it soaking wet first!

Okey Dokey!

A high pain tolerance is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, I can function through shit that would incapacitate most people. Which is great, because I have been gifted a body that experiences a lot of shit that would incapacitate most people!

On the other hand, I have absolutely no way to tell if an injury is actually truly not that bad or if I’m just automatically tuning out the pain. Which is not great, because I very well could be making the injury much much worse if I guess wrong. 🤷

This post brought to you as I lean my entire upper body weight on a recently (<3 hours ago) dislocated shoulder to type this post.

Went to sleep with my shoulder in the socket, woke up with it subluxed.

Can I just live? Ehlers-Danlos please I am begging just let. Me. Live. And leave my joints where they belong.

‘Specialist’ Doctors

You know your condition is rare when the top specialist doctor goes - ‘We don’t really understand the condition, maybe you’re at the wrong hospital for your care’

You know how zebras can't sleep just for some reason? Like pain, adrenaline rush, anxiety, subluxations...

I'm having an adrenaline rush so I can't sleep. it's 3:23 am and I have class at 8 all the way to 18:00 ...

I wonder what other people do to sleep ...
