Today marks the last day of Ehlers Danlos Awareness Month. I am grateful for friends, family, and community for being supportive. I'm grateful for those friends who let me practice saying no on days when an outing is just too much and for being able to say yes to a visit at my home where I can be myself more easily. Thank you! xoxoxoxo

I'm also so incredibly happy that I've found a PT who is also a zebra like me and she's really helped me with my foot pain. I am using my cane less and only need it now for standing still in one place for long times or for lengthier walks. I have to still hobble when I forget my cane, but I'm slowly getting more used to using it as needed. I'm going more days without it than with it, but I like having it just in case.

I encourage others to learn what they can about EDS so they can be supportive to those of us who have this disabling condition.

Why the Zebra? - The Ehlers Danlos Society People with the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) often identify themselves as zebras.
