i wish people online didn’t take everything as a personal attack. i saw a video of a woman showing how flexible and hypermobile her kids were and there were a few comments saying those could be signs of EDS, by no means actively trying to diagnose these children or anything, literally just letting her know so she could look out for things like that. and she got all pissy like show me your degree why are you trying to diagnose my children these are not symptoms they’re just like this my children don’t have any syndromes etc. like… calm down…if you can detect chronic illnesses early and treat it early it helps a TON…no one is saying it absolutely is EDS lady.. ive seen too many times to count where one person tells another person something and they go ‘omg i had no idea thank u!’ or literally the same thing with a diagnosis like someone said a yellow tint to your vision may be indicative of cataracts and it turns out that it was. like it really shouldn’t make you so butthurt that people are looking out for you, even if they’re wrong, they just want to be sure. Jeezi know this convo is over but i have a mom like this, she acknowledges i have EDS but never wanted me to see a doctor because she never took it seriously, and now my EDS has partly ruined my body and walking is on a scale of perfectly fine to painful to impossible for periods of time and im only 18, i hope this womans kids get help because at the beginning i was just a super flexible kid too, that category of defensiveness does nothing but hurts you/your children, also obviously a kid with EDS is not gonna have many symptoms besides flexibility, they're kids. EDS usually gets worse with age
sorry for the rant it’s just frustrating because i am definitely the kind of person who may point out ‘obvious’ things or things that could potentially be related but potentially not because i never want to guess what someone knows or not. like for example not many people know infants cannot drink water, in fact it’s bad for them. and there’s no shame in not knowing things that others find obvious or common knowledge. life isn’t a competitive game of who can have the most knowledge. just help each other out idk
You would know a thing or two about that, huh?There's no need to be passive aggressive and talk down to people. This thread may be about "speaking your mind" but that shouldn't mean being disrespectful to others.
