So I know a lot of you have seen my apparently abnormally stretchy skin. I'm pretty sure I have this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehlers-danlos
At least mildly. I've got a lot of systems at least...starting with just the stretchy skin, which is picture perfect if you scroll through the page and look back at me. My join flexibility. I wouldn't call myself double jointed really, but my legs and arms...they are pretty...extendable. How I've sat/slept in the weirdest of positions. My shoulders dislocating and relocating so many times, and so easily. My hips feeling like they're going to dislocate. Easy bruising, paleness, crowded teeth, no earlobes! Velvety. Smooth. Skin. On the slightly hypochondriac side of things: my early onset arthritis! It even covers my lethargy and...interesting digestive history. Ok. I'm not letting it explain my lethargy. I'm chalking that up to my poor sleep habits.
Good thing is, whether I'm right or not, I'll still live a normal life span.
Today is going to be a good day. But even if I don't check everything off my list. I stand upon grace. Hallelujah.
