"For me EDS is a constant battle between where I am, and where I want to be."
EDS can have an impact on #mentalhealth. Living with chronic illness and pain can be extremely challenging. @chr0nicallycute shares her story. #UKCharityWeek#MadeatUni#EhlersDanlos#EDS
I just created a cervical spinal stenosis page on @MEencyclopedia : https://t.co/ykIqLuaQJG Please help add to/improve it.
This is why MEpedia is so important. It helps to connect our literatures and unearth, connect what has been lost or forgotten.
