EDS musings
I'm so sleepy from this post-COVID-triggered dizziness, so I'm going to nap now that work is done for the day before I play D&D. Hopefully it'll make my headache ease up.
I curled up under blankets on the couch, and took a big, deep breath, causing my ribs to make some crunching sounds as they shifted, hopefully into the right places.
I often wonder if people without EDS deal with things like that.
I went nearly my entire life having no idea what normal was. I had no idea it was fibromyalgia; pain signals were just turned too loud by oversensitive nerve impulses. I had no idea people didn't get dizzy and that POTS was just fucking with my vascular system's ability to get blood to my brain. I had no idea people didn't bend or stretch in the ways I did, or have bones that slipped out with ease, thanks to the EDS.
I just kept hearing that I was physically fragile and didn't know what I was doing wrong. I had no clue that I was *actually* fragile.
At least my skin feels like velvet and I'll look young for longer, literally the only benefit of EDS. Yay.
