Just a "zebra" trying my best to live life to the fullest with EDS and POTS...and loving the ride.
1. Medical Stuff:
2. I broke down and bought a German Shepherd for Brad.
3. I slept at my house like a big girl when Brad was out of town.
4. I broke my wrist.
5. I decided I like anchovies and broccoli now.
Well, I do have to say that persistence does pay off. I may have overreacted a lot bit, but not knowing to me is the WORST. If I know I have something, then I can start to deal with it, but I do not do well with the waiting game.
I did not get a call yesterday and stressed, and cried, and prayed, and slept fitfully throughout the night. I felt like I was back to the summer and the fall, waiting, and waiting for answers. Thankfully, this morning I was called with the answer I was looking for.
This is one of the best explanations I have read. I think EDS is described in more “layman’s terms” on this site than most, and describes the various types pretty well.

This would be considered a not so great EDS day…Back brace. Check! To keep my ribs from subluxing, and to try and keep them in place. They have been giving me real fits lately. Cervical Collar. Check! To keep my neck stable so the headaches and neck pain stay at bay. And as always, my oh so cute compression stockings to help with circulation (POTS) to keep my blood from pooling.
