Spoken Word Poetry: "Why Do You Have a Stick?" [CC] | Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome | Disability
"Why do you have a stick?" - this is a question I get asked very often. In this spoken-word poetry piece, I share why I do, and the role Ehelrs-Danlos syndrome plays in it all.
As I post this, it's May - which also happens to be Ehlers-Danlos syndrome awareness month.
To know more about chronic illnesses such as endometriosis, PCOS, adenomyosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, fibromyalgia and more, you can browse through this channel of mine, or even check out my blog: allthingsendometriosis.com/
I'm on Instagram as: footprintsnoboundaries
Also, it would be great to know your experiences of when you may have experienced something similar, whether with yourself or someone you know - or even just how you felt hearing this spoken-word poetry piece. I look forward to reading and responding. Thank you :)

    Salut ! Merci pour tes conseils. Pour ma part, j’utilise des vêtements compressifs sur mesure qui m’aident en cas de douleurs, et l’oxygène. Je fais du yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️1x/semaine, je cours 1x/semaine, je passe mon temps à boire de l’eau, et j’évite de manger des fruits après les repas. J’adore les goûters, mais je suis habituée depuis toute petite à avoir ma dose de sucre et ça me revigore. Cependant, ce n’est pas recommandé. J’ignore quel travail font les Ehlers-Danlos, moi je suis perdue avec ça. (Au niveau Professionnel)…je cherche toujours ma voie… J’adore l’astrologie, la musique, la peinture. Je peux faire plein de choses mais pas trop longtemps. (Je me fatigue vite). J’ai également remarqué que manger trop de pain fatigue énormément , et que le système hormonal (le cycle féminin) avait clairement un lien avec les douleurs. Le pire pour moi, ce sont les repas de famille interminables. Sinon, comme tu dis, il faut se créer des petites routines. Je vois régulièrement psychologue, kinesiologue, et l’idéal c’est de faire de la fasciathérapie (mais pas remboursée en France, hélas). Et surtout, si j’ai bien un conseil à donner c’est de ne pas vous faire craquer par un chiropracteur ou ostéopathe parce que c’est à cause de ça que je suis « rouillée » aujourd’hui.

    I have only just found this website. I am 86 years old and have only just been diagnosed. My youngest daughter was diagnosed first and I didn't know what she was talking about, but then my son got leukaemia, and my granddaughter was diagnosed. I then thought I should pay to go to the same consultant for his opinion. It took him no time at all to confirm I had EDS. He was asking me all sorts of questions about my childhood but as I pointed out I was born in the war and the main problems were staying alive and hoping we didn't get bombed and also that we could get enough to eat. He showed me how my joints did odd things and my skin could be stretched so easily. However, having read all the comments, "growing pains" was mentioned over and over again when I was growing up. My fingers get so cold and difficult to use as I have Raynauds disease. I have seen so many doctors and specialists and have been told first I had Parkinsons, then Lewys Disease. Pain management said I should see his Physio, but all she said when I nearly fell over was that I was doing it deliberately. I gave up in the end. I have always been anaemic and have to have injections weekly. Now I think there is a question that maybe I should have a test for leukemia. I haven't mentioned all the symptoms like knee replacements, as I could write book I have always fought against being ill and have had a life full of sport as well as working all my life. Tennis, Horse Riding, Squash, Badminton and table tennis. Trouble was that slowly I got injured so many times, I had to admit defeat and give up one by one. It's a bit late to look forward to many more years which is very sad so obviously I get very depressed but at least I know what it is all about now and will try to stop worrying about people and doctors thinking I am a hypochondriac.
