I have recently discovered that I am hypermobile but social anxiety and the pain prevent me from going to a doctor (also I don’t trust them and they scare me) Do you have any tips on living with chronic pain? Anything from over-the-counter drugs and physical aids to tips for everyday tasks I know I’ll have to talk to a doctor someday but in the meantime I’d like to be able to survive lol

    I cannot thank you enough. This is so useful, and the ADHD was happy about the commandment phrasing. Please let me know if I can contact you privately, because I have so many questions, and I would love your help with contacting doctors.

      Sure! You should be able to direct message me here and we can figure communication out from there.

      And my pleasure! I’m an EDS advocate because it’s an under reported, poorly understood, and often poorly treated condition, so figuring out if you have it and figuring out what to do afterwards can be terrifying. I’m hoping to save at least a few people from the trial by fire that so many of us have gone through.
