"You think I look bad? You should see the other me!"
In honour of my degenerative autoimmune Relapsing Polychondritis diagnosis last week. 🥳You may have won this fight body, but that was a sucker punch and we all know it!👊

Spiderman out here is asking the REAL questions. We feel ya Spiderman; us Zebras are mutants too! No radioactive spider superpowers for us though. 😥

Still waiting on technology that will allow
us to objectively measure pain! Wouldn't it be a relief
to never have to describe it to disbelievers ever again?

Those with chronic pain are experts at
spotting fake smiles because they have seen the same
expression on themselves so often!

And don't even get me started on saying this to someone with an incurable degenerative illness!

It's hard not to feel like you're being judged when you ask someone to repeat what they said, except slower.

@ElleSENadvocate @TheEDSociety @EDSawareness1 @EDS_Today @EDSWellnessSol @nyitedscenter @ehlersdanlosuk @Ehlers__Danlos Hi, we are hoping by April 2020!

[Ehlers-Danlos Support UK @ehlersdanlosuk]

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are genetic conditions. Clinical #genetics is the @NHS service that could tell you more about this. Diagnosis of #EDS can be made by any doctor, such as a dermatologist, rheumatologist or clinical #geneticist. https://t.co/GDMY8xJNlO

A glimpse!
Mitch has been through a lot and it’s time that the world knows the struggles that everyone suffering from EDS goes through.

We are determined to let people know what living with such an invisible illness feels like, what it feels like to be going through such pain and still not having anyone to believe you, what it feels like to collect all the broken pieces and move ahead.

How we stumbled upon this idea was nothing short of a cosmic coincidence. We attended Mitch Martow's TedX talk, where we learned about the struggles of an EDS patient. We learnt how this chronic illness creates huge, colossal impacts on life of every suffering individual.
