#EDSawarenessmonth

In honour of the season, I've destabilised the right side of my jaw. My right dimple is disappearing into the swelling, and I'm a grouchy little stinker.

On the plus side, if it falls out completely, I might not have to publicly speak on Thursday night. So it ain't all bad 🤔

In honour of Ehlers Danlos Awareness Month, here are some things I’ve (partially or fully) dislocated the last month:

Fingers
Toes
Ribs
Shoulder
Ankle
Wrist
Elbow

You could say I’m PAINFULLY aware. 0/10, do not recommend.

Do NOT get your connective tissue from Shein.

Amongst everything I keep forgetting to post for #EDSAwarenessMonth & it's almost over. Thankfully my books are out there doing the work without me. This month I heard from a GP in Canada who bought #TheCompanyOfOwls for the owls but found it gave him new understanding of his patients with #EDS.

I've missed a lot of #EDSawarenessmonth, partly due to EDS stuff.

My worst EDS symptom is realising how pathetically grateful I am when something breaks and you can SEE IT. Most of the time, my pain is invisible. Bruising actually makes me feel grateful because the people around me can see it.

It is the third #edsawarenessmonth in a row where I am recovering from a major EDS related joint surgery. I would like to be LESS aware, thank you. #ehlersdanlossyndrome

“It’s Not Just in Your Head”: Recognizing Medical Gaslighting & Honoring EDS Awareness Month Navigating the healthcare system with chronic illness can be an uphill battle—especially when you're not believed. In honor of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Awareness Month, I’m sharing some of my story of medical gaslighting, misdiagnoses, and the long road to answers. This post includes red flags to watch for, EDS facts, and resources for self-advocacy. You're not imagining it—and you're not alone. -You're the one haunting your body, you know when something is wrong, don't let them convince you that you're just seeing things.

🕯️ New post up for #EDSAwarenessMonth 🕯️
Medical gaslighting nearly kept me from answers I desperately needed. If you’ve ever felt unheard by your doctors—you’re not alone.
📖 Read more on the blog.

Thx @shibakaz.bsky.social for the useful shareable info👏 Lack of #EDS awareness, esp in health service, means my bff B is neglected/endangered by all services; vulnerable to abuse/violence; disabled; homeless; fighting for her life.

I think you’re feeling like debating today. If you read what Kelly wrote, you’re arguing against straw men.

This is #MEAwarenessMonth & #EDSAwarenessMonth.

Our conditions are those which are frequently harmed by certain wellness practices.

Scientific advances are still needed for our conditions.

A visual aid (not made by me; I don’t see a visible credit/watermark, either) showing a Venn Diagram with three overlapping circles, in black text on white background, with a rainbow zebra print frame. (EDS patients are often referred to as zebras.) 
I’m gonna try my best to describe the contents of the Venn Diagram, but tbh it’s 2:45am and I have a migraine and my aphasia is acting up, so if it’s wrong I’m sorry! Please feel free to offer corrections. 
Circle 1 (upper left) reads: “hEDS: skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, tissue fragility, hernias, easy bruising, pain”.
Circle 2 (bottom) reads: “MCAS: flushing, pruritus, urticaria, angioedema, nasal congestion, nasal pruritus, wheezing, throat swelling, ocular itching, dermographism”.
Circle 3 (upper right) reads: “POTS: lightheadedness, visual blurring, vertigo”.
The overlap between hEDS and POTS reads: “dizziness, sleep disturbance, orthostatic intolerance”.
The overlap between POTS and MCAS reads: “chest pain”. 
The overlap between MCAS and hEDS reads: “GERD, heartburn”. 
The center of the diagram, where all circles overlap, reads: “weakness, fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating/constipation, hypotension, exercise intolerance, impaired cognition, headaches, palpitations”.

By the way, it’s #EDSawarenessmonth! TIME TO BE AWARE OF ME, Y’ALL 🤪
I have #EDS, and due to high comorbidity rates and me having ALL THE SYMPTOMS (haven’t been tested because America is so great at healthcare 🙄) it’s likely that I have #POTS, and my excessive allergic reactions are caused by #MCAS.

Missed the 1st anniversary of paperback publication of Some of Us Just Fall as I can't hold dates in my head. It's 1 year and 4 days old! It's #EDSAwarenessMonth in a near future in which disabled people are under attack from our govt, and people w. EDS targeted as malingerers. #TheChronicLife

Had a really good day yesterday & I'm paying for it today with severe brain fog and fatigue.
Wanted to get a ton of work done & a few video edits finished & I've not been able to focus

One of my shoulder blades has seized up so I can't extend my arm fully making it look a good few inches smaller than the other when I hold them out 🤣🤣

I know for a fact this freaks some of the people I know irl when it happens 🤣
