Through the years I've been diagnosed with several health issues, including cancer, and so I know as things haven't been as linear as they probably should be (my diagnoses journey has actually been really and truly all over the place), that perhaps things can get mixed up. I explain symptoms and issues of course, but my conditions (especially EDS) can seem so broad, vague and I'm sure confusing to loved ones.
As time has progressed I'm unfortunately unable to spend as much time with friends as I wish. I'm currently on house rest, as having issues with my C spine and unable to travel much (car journeys have always been painful, but recently they are excruciating). I have a couple of important trips over the next two months that I have to make, so the break is needed now in the hope that I can indeed travel by then. And with general life getting in the way, it can be hard for friends to visit me. So I'm really excited about this segment.
I told some friends that they could ask me any question about EDS -particular to my case or just in general, something maybe they have always wanted to know or were afraid to ask, or just simply never had the opportunity to ask. No silly questions. Although silly questions are also welcomed -haha, funny is also good!
So here is post one of my friends corner: Ehlers-Danlos Q&A. These are some of the people who made me who I am... Please don't judge me too harshly based on them -I can't get out enough to make new ones 😛 And if any of my other mates out there would like to participate in part two, please contact me!

Over the years we've bonded over our passion for garlic bread memes, love of Buckfast (you will notice that crops up as a mutual bond for most of my friends) and our shared inner spirit similar to that of a grumpy, old farm cat.
