Welcome To EDS-Kids

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS for short) is a genetic connective tissue disorder which primarily causes chronic joint pain and joint dislocations. EDS Kids is a community dedicated to helping not only sufferers of EDS but their family and friends too.
I HATE it when people say, "hey, you're short!". I want to just be like "WHAT?!? No one ever told me! THANKS!"
And then punch them in the face. Or the gut. Whichever is closest.
Don't worry. I restrain myself. Most of the time

Sophie, I know what you mean about people thinking they are gentle but are not.. that happens to me alllll the time. I guess they look at EDS as being sort of a Elasti-Girl syndrome where everything pops out and what nots, but it doesn't hurt... But it does!
