‘Where did I get all these bruises?’ It’s such a mystery. 🤪 It’s always so hard trying to be ‘normal’ and not run into things or hit myself on things. 😫 And don’t worry. I didn’t ever really hit my head 🥰 it was just my hands hitting and making a sound. I’m just ✨acting✨. Not trying to give myself a TBI on purpose over here. 😅

... Read moreHypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by joint hypermobility, skin elasticity, and tissue fragility. One of the lesser-known but impactful challenges faced by those living with hEDS involves poor proprioception and a lack of spatial awareness. Proprioception is our body's ability to sense its position in space. When proprioceptive feedback is impaired, individuals may have difficulty gauging where their limbs are, leading to frequent accidental impacts with objects in their environment. This impaired spatial awareness can cause unexplained bruises and injuries, as individuals may unintentionally hit themselves or surroundings. These physical manifestations can be misleading if viewed without context, potentially raising questions such as "Where did I get all these bruises?" as described in the original article content. Managing these challenges involves a multidisciplinary approach. Physical therapy is often recommended to help improve proprioceptive acuity, balance, and coordination. Therapeutic exercises focusing on joint stabilization can help reduce accidental bumps and bruises. Additionally, educating patients about their condition and advising on home and workplace modifications can improve safety and reduce the likelihood of injury. Moreover, emotional and psychological support is equally important, as the daily struggles with proprioception and chronic bruising can impact mental well-being. Patients may experience frustration or social stigma due to visible bruises and the unpredictability of accidents. In summary, understanding the connection between Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and poor proprioception is crucial for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. Awareness leads to better management strategies, helping individuals maintain autonomy and improve their quality of life despite spatial awareness challenges.

Where did we get our photo ledge?? 👀
We are *always* asked where we got our photo ledge from... Well, we made it! When I was searching around for the perfect length, the closest we found was one at Pottery Barn for upwards of $350+ and we were like... maybe not. I found a tutorial online and the whole thing cost maybe around $30

Where are all the stickers you bought for free?
Hey, so I was wondering, where did you end up sticking all those free stickers you got, ? It's kind of fun to think about where people put them, you know? Like, did you slap them on the back of your laptop, or maybe jazzed up your phone case a bit? Or did you get creative and put them somewhere
