summary/abstract:When I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) 18 months ago, I threw myself into the EDS world, the chronic illness world and the blogging world. I soaked up all the information I could find and shared my own journey in deep and vulnerable ways.
Without a diagnosis, I had spent 30 years in the lonely, barren wasteland of pain, anxiety, confusion and fear.
