“My disorder is called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. There are six known types, and I have type three called Hypermobility. It is a genetic disorder that is recessive, and parents do not show symptoms usually. This disorder has various symptoms, but the ones I experience include constant headaches, joint pain, and involuntary muscle movements. I was diagnosed in October of 2012, and will live with this disorder the rest of my life. There is no cure, but wearing braces on main joints like the knees and wrists, and going to physical therapy has helped a lot.”
