Last month, I found out I have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, after decades of chronic pain and medical disinterest. I've decided to write publicly about this, not just about hypermobility and its health impacts, but about how it feels when doctors don't care: medium.com/p/4fea6398b8ba

Welcome to my body

After twenty years of pain and repeated medical dead ends, a stranger sent me a message on Instagram. It led to a diagnosis all the doctors…
