Disability

When I was 8 years old I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It is a connective tissue disorder, causing a defect in my collagen. Collagen is you failed 7th grade science is the glue that holds your body together. Joints, skin, organs, bones, muscles, everything. I’m 13 years old now and I am already in excruciating chronic pain daily. There’s no cure and all the treatment I’ve tried (collagen injections, physical therapy, surgery, medications, ect) nothing has helped me in the slightest way. My joints dislocate daily, I get nauseous a lot, it’s hard to walk, it’s getting harder to focus in school. This list goes on. It’s on invisible illness meaning I look normal, but I have all this shit in my body. May was EDS Awareness Month. I encourage you to do your own research. Support would be awesome!! 13 years zebra strong!
