Another quick post but I just want to throw out there something that I found very helpful today. I recently joined a support group through facebook for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome patients in Columbus and I worked up the courage to post a little about me today. My parents have always tried to get me to contact others with EDS, but I was always hesitant for some weird reason. After posting in my new support group today, I was welcomed with a warm embrace and lots of love! It was so nice to find people out there who understand my situation and who have gone through similar things. It was especially nice to talk to a few people my age who suffer from EDS, something I have never had the privelege to do before. I know the Lord really had His hand in all of this support and I am so excited that He is bringing me some comfort through the story of others. If you suffer from EDS or another chronic illness, I highly suggest joining a support group! I think you will find that people are very willing to share their stories and help provide tips as to how to handle certain situations and what doctors may be a good idea to check out.
