Love this story 🥹 Makes me think of my mum and how she did her best to overcome her mobility issues so she, like Allison's mum, could get out and still explore 🫶

My mom, 78, had Glacier National Park on her bucket list, so we went on a hiking trip there, even though I wasn't sure how much she'd be able to do. Turns out, way more than she expected--she pretty much became an outdoor adventurer. www.sierraclub.org/sierra/i-too...

Trying to explain life with any of the EDS subtype is hard. It is so much more than being bendy. Fragile skin. Chronic dislocations/subluxations. Joint instability. Altered muscle function and dysregulation. Spinal issues. Chronic Pain. Handfuls of comorbid conditions. And more 💩

Post 1/2 When I first ran across this video, it was so validating! Someone else deals with the same things; symptoms and judgments.

Living with handfuls of lifelong Chronic Illnesses and hearing the same all natural/holistic suggestions hundreds of times gets infuriating 🫠😒
Do they help? Yes.
Do they cure? No.
Be mindful before making suggestions. Rather, just listen and be there for people who live with Chronic Illnesses 🙏💜🙏
thezebraalliance.bsky.social The Zebra Alliance Community @thezebraalliance.bsky.social · Oct 25
What are some suggestions you have heard?

The top (ableist) suggestions folks with #ChronicIllness hear: Essential Oils, Yoga, Meditation, Healthy Diet, and Exercise.
Do these help? Yes.
Are they a cure? Nope.

One of the things that hurt my heart the most when we sold our house: Leaving a decade worth of rocks, crystals, minerals, ores, fossils, and semi-precious gems that I hauled down mainly from high alpine mines. It is a surprise I didn't break my back 😅
