Hello peeps
I’m a silly goofy guy that just so happens to be a disability icon who writes sapphic musicals lol✨
A bit of my story:
I got really sick in middle school and I was diagnosed with “the blob” aka Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and a bunch of other things like pots, gastroparisis, mcas, Autism etc… Later on in high school, I was diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome after dealing with drowning and seizures and I was also diagnosed with Systemic Mastocytosis after dealing with too many ER visits for anaphylaxis. I also have a bunch of random other stuff like Idiopathic intracranial hypertension. After a freak accident with a chiropractor, I got SMAS (a vascular compression syndrome) and that’s THE WORST. I’m getting a feeding tube next week so I might post about it.
Anyway, I deal with a lot but I have a lot of friends who help me along :)

In today's world, awareness and understanding of disabilities are more important than ever. My journey with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and related conditions has highlighted the need for compassion and the sharing of experiences. Many individuals face similar struggles with rare diseases, and sharing stories can foster connection and understanding. Support groups and online communities play a crucial role in helping individuals process their experiences. Through platforms like Lemon8, we can connect with others who share our conditions, exchanging tips and support. Utilizing hashtags such as #ehlersdanlossyndrome and #dysautonomiaawareness can enhance visibility for those seeking solidarity in their experiences. Moreover, discussing innovative solutions like feeding tubes for severe gastrointestinal symptoms, as well as coping strategies for managing chronic pain, can provide valuable insights for readers facing similar health challenges. Conversations surrounding the impact of autism on health management and daily life are also vital, adding to the broader narrative of inclusiveness and shared understanding around disability. As we continue to support one another and raise awareness, let this be a reminder that we are not alone in our battles. Reaching out for help, whether through friends, family, or community groups can be a significant step towards navigating the complexities of living with chronic conditions.
