Seriously, this is now the 5th person with EDS, I’ve encountered on Jezebel. Now, maybe some of you are the same person but it is still strange. Especially considering how rare it is.

This is the third time I’ve found someone with EDS, on a Jezebel post. Do you have the cardiovascular type? I have minor tachycardia, nothing like you have. But my testing heart rate is around 110. I was hospitalized once because my resting heart rate had been at 150-180 for over a week. I was barely able to sleep. So…

If the money went to charity, then I would agree. However, it appears it was for a promotional event for her chef friend.

So in the end the girls were still split up? What happened to the older daughter, the one who was "rehomed" to the man who sexually abused her? It says says she was apparently placed with a different family. I find that so heartbreaking. I wish something could be done where all three girls were in one family, or are…

He grasps my head, stilling me, and I sheath my teeth with my lips and push him deeper into my mouth.

I also habe hypermobiloty (probably, haven't done genetic testing. I was diagnosed in '13. But thought the years of health problems, I had a nurse and a physical therapist tell me they were certain that I had EDS. I had never heard of it and since they were only a nurse and a PT, I didn't know what to tell doctors or…

I don't understand this either. As someone with naturally wavy hair, I find it very difficult to keep my hair curly or straight. Both styles wind up wavy by the end of the day. Which according to the guidelines is unacceptable.

happen to be allergic to contacts, and even more allergic to the allergy drops. I also, feel like glasses are part of my personality. I've been making a statement with my glasses for over half my life. No one, and I mean no one, can take that away from me. Lisa Loeb was my idol, when I first started wearing glasses.

Do you have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome? I was just diagnosed about 2 years ago, at 28. All of a sudden my entire life made sense.

Do you have ehlers danlos syndrome? If so, hey zebra buddy :)

I had just had back surgery about two weeks ago. I was still on some heavy duty pain medication. I fell asleep ok the toilet around 4 am. When I woke up my legs were dead asleep. Not just a little fizzy feeling, they were completely numb. I stood up, and tried to take a step forward, I wanted to try and shake it off.…

Not that men can't own pink tweezers, but in my imagination it is his girlfriends. I imagine her seeing this viral video and realizing that it is her tweezers. I can see her face and hear her screaming at him from across the house. In all actuality, he probably shared his find with her right away, and was yelled at…

A couple years ago, I suddenly got really sick. Doctors didn't know what was wrong and we're basically treating me like I was just looking for pain medication. My brother tells me, that even terminally ill people manage to have some semblance of a quality of life. He then tells me that he is going to find someone who…

Thank You! This was exactly what I was thinking. While this mother is so afraid of her daughter hearing about sex, another child could be using that 5 minutes to tell the nurse that they feel unsafe at home. A lot of women who are abused are taken to the hospital by their abuser and they don't leave the room, so the…

You bring up a good point. This policy maybe in place to help protect children who don't feel safe at home, not just because of std's.
