I'm not going to update y'all on everything that's happened while I was gone but basically since I was last here regularly my EDS has progressed.
I don't have any of the regular EDS subtypes...mine's actually because of a deletion but basically I have symptoms from Classical, Hypermobility, and Vascular.
Right now my arthritis (I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) is flaring up and I got a head injury in a car accident the other week so I have almost daily headaches now. My Dysautonomia's pretty much stable but I did collapse in class and whatnot last week.
I have to take a bunch of Motrin and I'm not supposed to be taking it so of course I'm queasy like I am whenever I have to take it for a long time but my current steroid dosage is not cutting it. Luckily I see my rheum in a week...and at least some of the problems with my foot calmed down.
What's up with everyone else? This place is dead.
