I am taking part in #MyEDSChallenge and #MyHSDChallenge with the Ehlers Danlos Society. Since May is EDS awareness month, every day I will be sharing something about myself and my EDS journey to drive further awareness and community.
Day 3- Wear It Wednesday- Zebra Strong!
The zebra is our symbol and we are Zebra Strong. No two zebras have identical stripes just as no two people with a type of EDS or HSD are identical. We have different symptoms, different types, and different experiences—and we are all working towards a time when a medical professional immediately recognizes someone with these conditions, reducing the time to diagnosis, and improving pathways to care.
Living with an EDS or HSD is not easy. Being zebra strong is facing challenges with EDS or HSD, facing struggles and difficulties daily. Being zebra strong is making adaptions to continue doing things you love, or adapting to no longer being able to do things you may have once done. Being Zebra Strong is finding strength in the face of adversity, or just weathering the storm.
