An Article From The Mighty I Wanted To Share

  An article from The Mighty that I wanted to share What I Wish You Knew: The Side of EDS No One Sees Christina Gooch April 14, 2018 As many of my fellow zebras know, people often downplay the seriousness of this disorder. Not out of malice, mind you, but due to a lack of understanding. “Well it can’t be that bad, EDS just means you’re super bendy, right?” EDS is not just “being super flexible.” It is progressive, painful, incurable and horribly limiting.
