The Battle Between New Friends, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Guilt
source: The Mighty
year: 2017
authors: Sian Fiona Williams
summary/abstract:Friendship is a topic that always seems to give me heart palpitations! The chronic pain and tiredness that comes with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome leads to a constant battle in terms of friendship and the guilt I feel.
To start, it isn’t all bad! Making friends for me is the easy part. When you start a friendship I am normally in a setting I feel comfortable. For me, sitting either at work, at the pub, a coffee shop, or on the sidelines at a sports event. If I was having a flare-up I would be at home, so I am normally showing the best version of me at this point.
