Hypermobility - Blog Posts

Yeah... text to speech has kinda saved my life in that area

My hands hurt a lot too. So like. Limited ability to be on my phone and type or to even play games. Thanks ehlers danlos and fucked up joints.

Question for others with hEDS, specifically those who use a wheelchair:

How does it not hurt your shoulders? I have hEDS, but don't use one, and just about anything hurts my shoulders. I was wondering how moving your chair around wouldn't hurt. Thanks!

I hate being hypermobile so much, I am constantly in pain for no reason other than that my joints are just weird. I’m about to go to college I want to experience life without pain debilitating me constantly. And what’s worse is none of my doctors seemingly care, I’m just so tired I wish I could heal my body so it isn’t collapsing under me.

i'll forget i have EDS and then I'll manage to somehow sprain my ankle sitting down in bed??

So I have a question for others with diagnosed hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome

When I was diagnosed, the doctor said to me that there are no pain meds that can help with my pain that he is willing to give me because the only ones strong enough to work are highly addictive or can make you “high as a kite” in his words.

Has anyone else been told this? I mean it’s true low level pain meds don’t work on my joint pain but still, is there anything?

So I only got diagnosed last week right? I’ve been in pain for years but I never had a name for it that explained the extreme it would go to.

Well today I was walking around with some of my friends getting ready for the show we are putting on and I open the door for them and right after they walk in my hip shoots pain and I hit the deck, unable to get up because of pain.

I don’t know wtf happened, but my hip has hurt ever since regardless of position, sitting, standing, laying

So the prop department is lending me a cane, but can anyone tell me what could possibly have happened?

Hey can anyone who has heds tell me if binders or corsets help with back pain? I’ve been having horrible back pain more frequently recently and I don’t have a way to ask my doctor for recommendations because I don’t have access to chat with him.

Please I’m in so much pain

I was so active today and now I may pay the price (joint ouchie)

i love drawing, collecting stuffed animals (especially build a bears and pillowfort weighted plush from target), vintage electronics/clothing/toys/etc, and watching youtube.

my special interests are my little pony: friendship is magic, psychology, genetic syndromes, true crime, cats, and disabilities. i love learning about disability aids !!

i have 4 cats at home. i have a girlfriend and she’s super awesome sauce :3. i love my mom.

i have GERD and i have joint problems which i suspect may be hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome. it’s really hard to get into a doctor to do genetic testing, and i don’t want to take away time with a doctor from people who really need it. i try to deal with it by using braces for my knees, elbows, ankles, back, shoulders, and wrists.

thank you for listening! i will update this as i get more comfortable ^_^

Peter Parker totally has hyper mobility after the spider bite since spiders don't really have like, bones? So he'll just randomly fall to the floor.

Peter: *faceplants* I'm okay!

Tony: TF was that??

Peter: Slippery bones, help me up.
