Welcome To EDS-Kids
EDS Kids is a support group and community dedicated to helping children and young adult who suffer from chronic pain resulting from illnesses and genetic conditions like Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. 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.
The Amish are a gruop of Christians who mostly live in Pennsylvania but also live in other states. Because of their faith they don't participate in "worldly" things. Many don't use electricity, or cars, and dress in very plain clothing...basically they live like it's the 1800s. They don't have Social Security and don't participate in the military or the government. They believe in being separate from what they call "English" culture, which is our mainstream American culture

Britt, I'm just wondering here, but how can you be ex-Amish? As in, you were once Amish and now you aren't? I have a confusion.
Aaaand it's weird that we're both Native American and German. And we have EDS. We could be related o.O

Haha, Brooke, my dad's side of the family, where the Amish stems from was excommunicated from the group due to not wanting to follow their ways of life! So now, we are ex-amish!
And we probably are related somehow ahhaha!

A good friend is a connection to life - A tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.
I was born and raised, and still living in Southeastern Michigan! I'm of Bulgarian, Hungarian, and either German or French decent (don't ask me why I don't know which it is, it's a long story).
I ended up marrying an Englishman, Stephen. He came here on his fifth visit to visit me and we ended up deciding we didn't want to say good bye again. I actually met Stephen the same place I met Timeless on. Stephen is from the West Midlands in England. =] We're currently both living in Southeastern Michigan. Stephen just got his Work Permit, and if all goes well, he'll also have his Greencard soon too. =]
