May is EDS Awareness month

This isn’t my pattern, but I saw it on my homepage… May is EDS Awareness month… Since this is one of the conditions that I have, I thought I’d share this cute pattern (one of the few times I wish I made amigurumi)

She also has this in her shop (I just have a love of the zebra)

I also have EDS just not sure what type. My sister is having genetic testing done because she has it as well. I should know more about mine when she gets her results back!

Howdy! I have been “partially” diagnosed with hEDS (Physical Therapist diagnosed, told me to follow-up with primary)… I’m waiting for my next primary Dr appt so that he can refer me to get generic testing…

I have EDS but I am not sure which kind. I can touch the floor with both hands flat and I have chronic pain and no one can tell me why. I hope you have better luck than I have had in the last 15 years.

So the physical therapist said at least hypermobile… I just got a referral from primary to see a rheumatologist so they can do more tests and potentially a geneticist…
