i want to slide off my fall risk hospital bracelet to keep it
and i just remember being young not knowing i have #EDS, wondering how handcuffs could possibly be effective
because i could just dislocate my thumb and slide anything that fit my wrists off haha
not everyone can do that lol

explaining MCAS to nurses is not fun lol there’s so many variables
