Yesterday I had someone come up to me that noticed I had posted something about EDS and asked what exactly it was and what damage it caused. This is the exact reason I post about EDS. Awareness. I want people to know the name. I want people to know the symptoms. I want people to know the dangers of having this illness. I don't post for attention or sympathy, I post in hopes that people read it. My hope is that some day in the future I will be able to say "I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome" and I wont get the response "what's that?".
