About Me

I have hEDS (Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) which means I have generalised joint hypermobility that can lead to frequent injury. There are many forms of exercise my Drs recommend against, such as high impact things like running. So I've found various activities that work for me and I constantly try to balance my chronic joint issues with health and wellness based movement. My hEDS is also an umbrella diagnosis that explains many of my other health issues such as:
- Tracheobronchomalacia
- VCD
- Dysphagia
- GERD
- Chronic migraine
- Spinal kyphosis & lordosis
- Sleep apnea
- Raynaud's
- Trigeminal neuralgia
So this blog chronicles my constant attempts to incorporate healthy movement and lifestyle habits with chronic health issues.
