GUEST VOICE: THE STORY OF AN EDS WARRIOR'S MENSTRUATION WOES
Ehlers-Danlos News - July 17, 2024
My therapist recently described my existence as a “maybe life,” which I think sums it up pretty perfectly. Maybe I can do that. Maybe not. Maybe I can go there. Maybe not. Maybe I’ll be functional. Or not.

MY DOOR IS OPEN, AND I'M HERE TO LISTEN. LET'S TALK.
Chestnut Hill Local - May 9, 2024
The year I moved to Philadelphia (2009) was the year of the North American Blizzard. With snow up to my knees, I trudged outside to a car obscured by white and fought back the urge to cry. I hadn’t bought a shovel. Yet, before I even had time to contemplate a possible solution, neighbors I only recognized from hallways and across the street, gathered around and dug me out.
