The Worst Symptoms of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome || EDS Awareness Month 2021
diseases August 10th. 2023, 6:20amit’s that time of year again! EDS & HSD awareness month comes around quick! I’m back for my 5th annual series of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome & Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder Awareness Month videos with my dazzle of zebras from across the world. This year we have 27 zebras with 4 different types of EDS and HSD from 8 different countries sharing their experiences of what it’s like to live with these rarely understood conditions on a daily basis.
This is the first video in the 2021 series and we are talking about the worst symptoms of HSD, hEDS, cEDS & vEDS. From chronic pain and fatigue to dislocations there are huge lists of symptoms around but I want you to hear from people living with EDS on a daily basis what the worst symptoms they face are.
This video is dedicated in loving memory of Saarah Ahmed who wanted to take part in this series but sadly passed away before she could. Saarah lived with a very rare type of EDS called kyphoscoliotic EDS and she always wanted to raise awareness. Her family want her legacy to live on so please visit the links below to learn more about Saarah & her advocacy work.
